Smackdown Results (8/12) – New IC Champion!

Intercontinental Championship

Ezekiel Jackson (c) vs Cody Rhodes

Cody puts Zeke in an armbar but Zeke punches Cody in the ribs and throws him across the ring. Cody retreats outside and punches Zeke through the ropes but he recovers long enough to shove Cody back outside as we go to a break. When we return, Cody is jumping on Zeke's shoulder then puts him in a headlock and the ref checks on Zeke. Cody drops a knee on his head and reapplies the headlock but Zeke uses his power and stands up and rams Cody into the corner.

Cody tries a bulldog out of the corner but Zeke throws him away then hits three powerslams and sets up for the Torture Rack. He lifts Cody for the Rack but Cody grabs the ropes and Ted clotheslines Zeke as the ref is distracted by Cody. Cody hits Cross Rhodes on the rebound and makes the cover to win the match.

Cody celebrates with his newly won championship as Ted puts a paper bag over Zeke's head. Ted turns around to taunt the fans but Zeke gets up and beats the tar out of Ted in the corner. He picks Ted up and hits the Uranage slam as Cody watches on, then lifts him up over his head as Cody begs him not to. Zeke turns and throws Ted over the top rope and he lands on the floor in front of Cody. Cody looks pissed and slowly backs up the ramp with his title as Zeke plays it up for the fans in the ring.

Winner and NEW Intercontinental Champion – Cody Rhodes
