The second contest of the evening featured The Barrett Barrage back on WWE Main Event as Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett battled former United States Champion Zack Ryder. If Long Island Iced-Z could pull off a victory in this non-title bout, he would be making a strong case for himself as a contender for the Intercontinental Title.As the contest got underway, Ryder utilized a wise strategy by not trying to go toe-to-toe with The Bare-Knuckle Brawler. Barrett balanced Ryder’s more technical approach with his patented unorthodox style, though. The unpredictability of how and where the Intercontinental Champion strikes was most certainly on display, as Barrett always searches for an opponent’s weakness to garner an advantage.Ultimately, that volatility of the Intercontinental Champion’s style proved to be too much for Long Island Iced-Z. Though the self-proclaimed “Internet Champion” seized an opportunity to execute the Rough Ryder, Barrett countered and struck back with the Bull Hammer elbow smash to secure the win.
