Intercontinental title match added to WWE Clash at the Castle
Chad Gable is getting another Intercontinental title shot.
On Raw, Sami Zayn was in the ring when Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa, and Otis came to the ring. Dupri read a note from Gable saying that he wouldn’t be there to confront Zayn and proceeded to ridicule the rest of Alpha Academy. After Gable mentioned he wanted another Intercontinental title match, Zayn agreed to defend the title against Gable at Clash at the Castle on June 15 if it meant ending the feud once and for all.
After Zayn accepted Gable’s challenge, Gable jumped him from behind. Zayn managed a comeback but during the brawl accidently hit the ropes, causing Dupri and Tozawa to fall off the apron and to the floor. Otis, conflicted, eventually blamed Zayn for the accident and laid him out with a forward slam.
Later backstage, Gable praised the rest of Alpha Academy for their work, ignoring that Tozawa and Dupri were hurt from the accident. Gable told Otis that he was proud of him and they would win the Intercontinental title together.
The lineup for Clash at the Castle so far:
- World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest defends against Drew McIntyre
- WWE Women’s Champion Bayley defends against Piper Niven
- WWE Intercontinental title: Sami Zayn defends against Chad Gable
