Kevin Owens def. Zack Ryder
Give Zack Ryder credit: He does not go down without a fight. Following Sami Zayn’s earned entry into the Intercontinental Title Match at Extreme Rules, the miracle man of WrestleMania 32 managed to successfully lobby his own win-and-you’re-in match against Kevin Owens. Ryder took the title from Owens at The Show of Shows, but never technically beat … and KO would lose his own spot in the Extreme Rules Match should Long Island Iced-Z defeat him.
Unfortunately, that was as far as The Ultimate Broski got. But he came really damn close to sealing the deal against The Prizefighter. He evaded or reversed all of Owens’ greatest hits and landed several of his own, including an outside-the ring Broski Boot against the guardrail and an El-Bro Drop that got a good two-and-a-half count. Alas, Owens ducked out of a do-or-die Rough Ryder, and later sprang with a Pop-up Powerbomb to deny Ryder. For now, at least.
