The Miz’s Opinion On Seth Rollins’ Intercontinental Championship Run
The match was set up after events from this past week’s episode of WWE RAW, where Elias attacked Rollins from behind. Rollins had interrupted Elias’ performance in Richmond before defending his title against Jinder Mahal, but Elias came back to get some revenge after the match. Rollins had “successfully” defended his title after a steel chair came into play, and Elias smashed a guitar over Rollins’ head. Rollins was initially put on a stretcher, but insisted on leaving under his own power.
