Tonight, was the WWE's annual Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View. And tonight, the card was stacked full of WWE's best and brightest with each man or woman in their respective Ladder Matches looking to climb the ladder and grab that brass ring to get an opportunity for themselves. But tonight, the Intercontinental Champion looked to keep a hold of his own brass ring.

The Champion walked into The Royal Farms Arena with a frown wearing black and gold shades with his own shirt with skinny black biker jeans with his "Pine Green" Jordan 1s. He had his pair of Beats over his ears listening to music to hype him up for his upcoming title match as he made his way to the locker room to get changed.

(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)

Ced stood on the interview set as it was set up for the Money in the Bank PPV. He was wearing black trunks with green designs with black pads, boots and wrist tape with the Championship wrapped around his waist.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my guest the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Ced." Kayla said on the mic dressed in her lavender pantsuit. The cheers in the arena could even be heard backstage making Ced smirk.

"Ced, in just a few short minutes, you defend your Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn, who in recent weeks had made comments saying that you're nothing more than a lucky champion and with Cesaro and Shinsuke at his side, they might play a part. How does all that factor into your mindset going into this Championship match?"

"Kayla, Do you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"Feel the intensity in the arena. The electricity running through the air. You feel the energy of the millions watching at home. And the energy of the thousands and thousands of fans here in attendance in Baltimore, Maryland." He said hearing the cheer of the fans backstage.

"Charm City. America's Comeback City. The City of First. And how fitting for this to be the city that I defend my Intercontinental for the first time in this new reign. Oh, it seems that they like to call this city Bodymore, Murdaland. Fitting for what's gonna happen to Sami. Sami, Welcome to your worst nightmare." He walked out of the camera shot with a frown on his face as Kayla looked on while the shot switched back to the arena.

"Worlds Apart" Hits

The near 10,000 fans in the Royal Farms Arena booed as the music of "The Moral Compass of WWE" Sami Zayn hit the PA System.

Sami walked out with his classic smug smirk as he looked around the arena.

"The Following Contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, making his way to the ring from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Weighing in at 212 Pounds. Sami Zayn!" Sami walked down the ramp alone as he heard his introduction. He got up onto the apron and looked around the arena before entering the ring. He looked around once more talking trash about the fans as he looked.

"Icon" Hits

The same fans that were booing were now cheering as they heard the music of their Intercontinental Champion now. The lights around the arena started to go into a disarray of colors. Ced walked out onto the stage with a smile as he spit out his water in a mist while the fans cheered.

"And his opponent, making his way to the ring, from Charlotte, North Carolina. Weighing in at 250 Pounds. He is the Intercontinental Champion, Ced!" The Champion made his way down the ramp with a purpose pausing once he got to ringside to look around at the thousands of fans in the arena. He walked around to the steel steps and ran up the steps before stepping into the ring making a beeline to the corner while Sami quickly exited the ring.

Ced jumped up onto the turnbuckle and unwrapped his Championship from around his waist raising it up in the air. He locked eyes with Sami as he jumped down. He handed the title off to the referee who raised it up in the air as his music faded.

"Icon" Fades

The referee handed the title off to the ring crew as Ced backed up in the corner jumping side to side in place waiting for his challenger to enter the ring. Sami walked up the steps into the ring entering as the referee called for the bell.

Ding-Ding-Ding!

Ced immediately walked towards Sami making Sami quickly exit the ring while Ced looked on angry as Ced walked towards the ropes staring on.

"Next Intercontinental Champion!" Sami shouted as he motioned a belt around his waist.

Sami walked up the step as the referee backed Ced back up into the corner across the ring making Sami chuckle. Sami entered the ring and immediately "Black Leone" walked towards Sami making him escape once again. It was clear that "The Underdog from the Underground" was playing mind games with the Champion. But Ced wasn't playing it and quickly rolled out of the ring chasing Sami around at ringside making the fans cheer.

Sami slid under the bottom rope and Ced did the same but Sami took advantage and started to stomp down on the Intercontinental Champion but Ced grabbed a hold of Sami's foot and shoved him back making Sami roll up under the bottom rope up onto the ring apron. Sami grabbed a hold of the middle rope and started to try to pull himself up using the top and middle rope. Ced quickly walked towards Sami and set him up for a Suplex taking him over the tope before putting him down with a vertical suplex. Ced popped back up, backing up to the corner, ran towards Sami jumping up getting a nice vertical before dropping down with the well-paced knee to the forehead of Sami Zayn.

Hook of the leg by the Champion.

1...

2, Kick out at 2 by Sami Zayn. Ced stood up to his feet looking down at his opponent and bent down grabbing Sami dragging him up to his feet. Ced threw him into the corner and tried to mount some more offense but Sami kicked Ced in the gut and then hit with a reverse STO in the corner smashing Ced face-first into the middle turnbuckle. This gave Sami all the time he needed to recuperate. Ced crawled over to the ropes and checking his mouth checking his mouth for bleeding.

Sami quickly walked over to him and started pounding shots on the back making Ced hunch over as he leaned up against the ropes. Sami took this chance and went to the ropes before hitting Ced with a boot to the side of the head knocking him out of the ring. And Sami not looking to give up any offense quickly exited the ring grabbing Ced, not allowing him to recuperate and threw him face-first into LED Post on the outside.

Sami raised his arms on the outside with a smirk as the fans booed. Zayn picked the current Intercontinental Champion and drove him back into the LED Post and Zayn has taken over this match up. Zayn rolled into the ring and back out breaking the referee's count at 5. Zayn reached back down and grabbed Ced throwing him back into the squared circle.

Ced still reeling from the collision with the post, crawled towards the corner and began to use the ropes to pull himself up. Sami backed up across the ring staring his opponent down as he was setting him up for the finish. He ran towards the corner looking for the Helluva Kick BUT WAS NEARLY ROCKED OUT OF HIS BOOTS AS CED CAME FULL SPEED AHEAD WITH A SPEAR. Ced popped back up to his feet looking around the arena as the fans cheered loudly.

Ced turned towards the stage and saw Cesaro and Shinsuke running down the ramp. They both slid under the bottom rope and immediately tried to clothesline Ced but he ducked it and instead went to the ropes. And when he popped off the ropes, HE TOOK BOTH CESARO AND SHINSUKE WITH A SPEAR.

"Finish it!" Ced shouted as he bent down and grabbed Sami putting him up on his shoulders. And CED WITH A DEATHBOMB ON THE BODIES OF CESARO AND SHINSUKE. Ced with the hook of the leg.

"Icon" Hits

"Here is your winner and STILL THE WWE Intercontinental Champion: Ced!" Ced was handed the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Ced, who raised the title up in the air as the WWE Universe cheered while the referee started to check on the bodies in the ring.

"Just dropped a body." Ced said as he left the ring and began to make his way up the ramp slapping the hands of the fans until he reached the stage. He raised the title up once more getting another op before going through the curtain.
