As we reported earlier today, Curtis Axel has been pulled from his Intercontinental Championship match due to injury on last Monday's go-home edition of Raw. WWE.com has announced that Kofi Kingston vs. Mr. Money in the Bank Damien Sandow will replace the champion's match with Big E. Langston.
The challenger was none too pleased with the announcement:
WHAT?!?! "@WWE: BREAKING: @RealCurtisAxel will not compete tonight at #HellInACell. Stay tuned to http://t.co/f6SHvs8Egn for updates.”

After turning babyface in a segment with CM Punk, Curtis Axel and Ryback last week on WWE Smackdown, Big E. Langston has been receiving a great push, and many had speculated that he was scheduled to win the Intercontinental Championship at tonight's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
