Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match Set for WrestleMania

It looks like “KO Mania” will finally be a reality.

It was announced tonight on “Monday Night Raw,” that WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens will defend his title at WrestleMania in a 7-person ladder match. His opponents will be Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Stardust, Sin Cara and Zack Ryder.

 

Earlier on “Raw,” Owens defeated AJ Styles in an outstanding match. Afterwards, “KO” got on the microphone and said that he needed an opponent for WrestleMania. Ziggler, Zayn and The Miz all came out and said that they deserved an opportunity at the title. Owens said that he would go to The Authority and put together a Triple Threat match later in the evening, with the winner earning a title match against him on “The Grandest State of Them All.”

What everyone didn’t know, is that Owens had other competitors in mind when he booked his match. As a result, a match between Stardust, Ryder and Sin Cara was made, with the winner of that match receiving the IC title match. After Ziggler, Zayn, and The Miz came down to ringside during the Triple Threat match, a large brawl ensued between all 7 men.

As a result, Stephanie McMahon made a ladder match between all of the superstars at WrestleMania.

Editor’s Note:

While I still feel that the IC Title match should be a 1-on-1 contest between Zayn and Owens, this match should be great. A lot of talent will be involved in this match, and will no doubt provide the opportunity for some terrific spots. But I leave you with this one thought: Zack Ryder has a match at WrestleMania.
