SummerSlam. The Biggest Event of the summer. And one of the WWE's Big Four Pay-Per-Views. SummerSlam was live on Pay-Per-View on the WWE Network in the sold-out famous TD Garden. Tonight, was gonna be a night full of action that would keep the fans at home and in the arena at the edge of their seats in excitement.
This was the 33rd annual SummerSlam and the 2nd to be hosted in Boston. And this was Ced's 2nd SummerSlam event after debuting at the event last year and winning the exact title that he was going for tonight. He hoped that he could repeat that same success here tonight and walk out at a 3-time WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Cedric walked into the TD Graden sporting a pair of black leather slip-ons with a pair of tailored black slacks with a white cashmere turtleneck with a gold chain around his neck with a matching bracelet on his left wrist and gold Rolex on his wrist and a pair of black and gold shades on his face. He carried his brown leather bag that had his ring gear in his bag.
Most people thought that most wrestlers didn't care about fashion but Ced was a different story. "If you looked good, you feel good. You feel good, you do good." Deion Sanders always said that or something similar but it was true.
"Damn Ced! Who told you you cut up like that?" Joe joked as he walked up to Cedric with his WWE Title rested firmly on his shoulder in his ring gear.
"I had to. I had to for good luck. Try to walk out here draped in gold just like you."
"Okay, I heard from Vince, they're only giving you and EC3, 6 minutes for the title."
"Damn just 6 minutes they couldn't at least give me 10."
"I heard they're giving Rollins and Mysterio 20 minutes."
"I ain't even think that feud was that big of a deal."
"Apparently, they wanna push it as."
"Oh well, I'll make do with my chance."
"Yeah, you do that. Don't hit EC3 too hard, he might bruise easily." Joe joked making Cedric chuckle as he walked over to the locker room to get dressed for his match.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Cedric stood in the locker room in his ring gear consisted of black boots with black knee pads with black trunks with white designs with a green outline around those designs with black tape around his wrist. Tonight, was the culmination of what he had been fighting for the past 2 months. A chance to get his title back and put himself on elite list of Intercontinental Champions that have had held the title 3 times. In the history of the WWE there have only been 18 men who have held the Intercontinental Championship 3 or more times. And of those 18, 4 of them were currently Hall of Famers and 1 would be a Hall of Famer at next year's WrestleMania in Inglewood, California.
Cedric looked down at the ground and sat down on the bench in the locker room as he lowered his head and put his hands together to get off a quick prayer. He wasn't a super religious man but praying always helped to ease his nerves.
Cedric said his prayers and rose up to his feet, walking out of the door to go to catering to watch the Pay-Per-View until his match came.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
"Icon"
The fans in the TD Garden cheered as they heard the music of the WWE's King of the Ring. The lights in the arena had started to go around in a frenzy of colors. The cheering in the arena became louder as Ced walked onto the stage with a frown on his face as he looked down at the arena floor. He looked up and spit his water out in a mist before he began to make his way down the ramp.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Intercontinental Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, making his way to the ring from Charlotte, North Carolina. Weighing in at 250 Pounds. He is the King of the Ring: Ced!" Greg Hamilton announced.
Ced made his way to the ringside area and stopped momentarily looking around the arena before he walked up the steel steps, entering the ring and quickly darting to the corner. He climbed up, placing his feet on the middle ropes, hitting his pose as the fans cheered.
I am in the Top One Percent!
"Top Percent" Hits
The music of EC3 hit the PA System making the fans in the TD Garden gave the Intercontinental Champion a chorus of boos. The lights dimmed around the arena as EC3 came walking out with a smirk on his face while he had his back turned to the WWE Universe. He pointed up to the tron as the letters "EC3" appeared on the titantron before slowly peeking over his shoulder with a smirk full of arrogance and looked down at his title.
"And his opponent, from Boca Raton, Florida. Weighing in at 231 Pounds. He is the WWE Intercontinental Champion, EC3."
He turned around with that same smile on his face staring at Ced. He arrogantly made his way down the ramp dressed in his white and gold ring attire. He made his way around the ring and ran up the steps entering the ring. He quickly unstrapped his title and raised it up in the air with a smirk on his face.
"Top Percent" Fades
EC3 handed the title to the referee as he and Ced locked eyes staring each other down. The referee raised the title in the air as the graphic appeared on the titantron before handing it off the ringside crew and calling for the bell.
Ding-Ding-Ding!
The fans cheered as the Intercontinental Championship match was underway. Ced vs EC3 for the last time. Ced walked towards the center of the ring as EC3 did the same. EC3 was talking trash to his challenger while his challenger continued to look at him staring holes into his soul. The Champion was fired up as the challenger was just cool, calm and collected. EC3 was the first to put his hands on his opponent as he pushed Ced away from him getting a small boo from the crowd.
Ced smirked before he dropped EC3 with a right hand. EC3 popped right back up and was clocked with another right hand. EC3 back up and hit with a series of rights and lefts that sent him to the ropes. The 2020 King of the Ring winner hit the ropes and when he rebounded off he clotheslined EC3 over the top rope as the fans cheered. Ced now stood in the ring fired up looking around the arena. His gaze switched over to see EC3 slowly rising up to his feet already making Ced smirk before he hit the ropes.
The former Champion dove through the top and middle rope taking EC3 down on the outside. The WWE Universe were still cheering at the top of their lungs as Ced just showed the WWE Universe a bit of his athletic side. The referee started his count at the outside as both laid there on the outside.
1...
Ced was the first to rise up to his feet and bent down to grab EC3 dragging him up to a vertical base by his hair.
2...
The former Champion dragged EC3 over to the ring looking to roll him back inside the ring but the Champion had other plans and PUSHED CED INTO THE STEEL STEPS making him land on his side ribs-first.
3...
The WWE Universe booed as EC3 smirked while he looked at Ced writhing in pain. EC3 walked over to Ced and repeatedly stomped down on the abdomen and the ribs of Ced looking to take him out of his element.
4...
EC3 stopped his relentless assault on Ced's ribs and looked around at the WWE Universe who were booing him. He grabbed Ced by the head and neck lifting him up to his feet and WHIPPED HIM HARD INTO THE BARRICADE making Ced grunt in pain as he collided with the barricade.
5...
EC3 looked down at Ced with a smirk on his face before he bent down grabbing Ced by the head and neck and throwing him into the ring. EC3 rolled into the ring under the bottom rope and crawled towards Ced hooking the leg.
1...
2, Ced kicked out at 2. EC3 looked down at Ced with a smirk on his face as he grabbed the former Champion dragging him up to his feet by the head and neck.
EC3 had Ced in a headlock looking for the One-Percenter but Ced pushed him off into the ropes. EC3 rebounded off and went for a clothesline but Ced ducked it and went to the ropes. EC3 once more hit the ropes and when Ced rebounded off he nearly cut EC3 in half with a SPEAR DAMN NEAR TAKING EC3's BREATH AWAY. Ced quickly bolted up to his feet as the WWE Universe were going in a frenzy. Ced looked around the arena fired up before he walked towards EC3 grabbing him by the head and neck and lifting him onto his shoulders. Ced put EC3 down in the center of the ring with DEATHBOMB, LOOKING FOR THE WIN. Hook of the leg.

Ding-Ding-Ding!
"Icon" Plays
"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion: Ced!"
Ced stood up with a smile on his face as he had just made history tonight in Boston. He was now a 3-time Intercontinental Champion and was possibly the youngest to ever hold the title 3-times. The referee grabbed the title from the stage crew and handed the title to Ced before he raised his arm in the air. Once the referee let Ced's arm go, Ced dropped down to his knees holding the title close to his chest while he mouthed the words, "I love you" as he looked around at the WWE Universe.
The New Champion quickly jumped up to his feet and raised the title into the air as the fans cheered loudly. He walked towards the corner and jumped up onto the middle turnbuckle and raised the title in the air as the fans cheered.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Ced walked backstage with the title resting firmly on his shoulder just a few minutes after his match with EC3. Ced walked down the hallway with a smile on his face until he turned the corner making him stop in his tracks as the smile slowly faded off his face.
The camera shot zoomed out showing the man who returned here tonight and won the United States Championship, Jaden Sennoa who got a mixed reaction from the crowd. Ced and Jaden both stared each other down with tension in the air. Jaden hadn't been seen since WrestleMania and the man who beat him at WrestleMania was standing right in front of him.
Jaden chuckled as he looked Ced up and down.
"I haven't forgotten about WrestleMania and when the times comes the next time we lock it up, I will be the one victorious in that fight. Nice belt by the way." Jaden said as he patted his hand on the title before he walked away. Ced turned his head and watched as Jaden walked down the hallway shaking his head with a smirk.
"Likewise." Ced said before he continued on his way down the hallway to the locker room.
