Backstage, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was congratulated by the European Champion, Jeff Hardy, and one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Edge, for his impressive victory and for capturing the Intercontinental Championship.

Jeff Hardy: "Hey, Zlatan, that was one hell of a match out there! Congrats on becoming the Intercontinental Champion!"

Edge: "Yeah, Zlatan, you did what I once did with that title. Enjoy the ride, it's an incredible feeling."

As they exchanged smiles and handshakes, Chris Jericho approached the group, his applause dripping with sarcasm as he mockingly congratulated the "punk kid," a nickname he had given to Zlatan.

Chris Jericho: "Well, well, well, look at the punk kid who thinks he's hot stuff. Congratulations."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic couldn't resist a playful jab at Jericho, noting the bitterness that still lingered from their past encounters.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "Ah, Jericho, still sore from Ottawa, huh? Stopping you from regaining the Undisputed Championship must have really stung."

Jericho didn't deny it, his face showing the lingering resentment he held for Zlatan.

Chris Jericho: "You may have gotten lucky tonight, but don't get too comfortable, kid. You see, earlier tonight, I may have lost to that rookie John Cena, but I'm far from a has-been. One day, when you and I step into the ring, I'll show you why they call me the 'King of the World,' and your fairytale story won't have a happy ending."

Jericho left, leaving Zlatan, Jeff Hardy, and Edge to exchange knowing glances, fully aware that a potential showdown between Zlatan and Jericho would be nothing short of explosive.

Later, in the bustling WWE locker room, Rob Van Dam and the new Intercontinental Champion, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, engage in a conversation about their thrilling triple threat match. They sit on folding chairs, still catching their breath after the intense contest. The low hum of chatter from other wrestlers and the distant echoes of the crowd in the arena provide the backdrop.

RVD: (grinning) Man, that was one hell of a match out there, Zlatan. I gotta say, you've got some serious skills in that ring.

Zlatan: (smirking) Thanks, RVD. You're no slouch either. It was a battle, and I respect that.

RVD: (leaning forward) You know, with SummerSlam just around the corner, I've been thinking. How about you and I go one-on-one for this Intercontinental Championship? I mean, the fans loved what we did out there tonight, and I think we can give them another classic match.

Zlatan: (nodding) I like that idea, RVD. I never back down from a challenge, and facing you one-on-one for the Intercontinental Title sounds like a great opportunity. Let's do it!

Their mutual respect and shared enthusiasm for competition shine through as they shake hands, sealing the deal for a future showdown for the Intercontinental Championship.

At ringside, the Raw commentators Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler react to the blockbuster match made for SummerSlam in the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Jim Ross: Well, King, it looks like we've got a blockbuster match set for SummerSlam! Rob Van Dam invoking his rematch clause against the new Intercontinental Champion, the Lion of Rosengård, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After that incredible triple threat match we witnessed tonight, this one-on-one showdown promises to be a classic.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: You said it, JR! The WWE Universe is in for a treat. RVD and Zlatan both brought their A-game tonight, and I can only imagine what they'll do in a singles match. It's going to be high-flying, hard-hitting, and downright exciting!

Jim Ross: Indeed, King. These two athletes have shown great respect for each other after their triple threat encounter, but when that Intercontinental Title is on the line at SummerSlam, you can bet they'll leave it all in the ring. Fans, mark your calendars for a match you won't want to miss!

The triple threat match for the Undisputed WWE Championship was an intense and thrilling contest. The backstage area was buzzing with excitement as Zlatan, RVD, and Trish watched the action unfold on a monitor.

Kurt Angle, The Rock, and the reigning champion, The Undertaker, all put on a show-stopping performance. The match saw a series of high-impact moves, near falls, and dramatic moments that had the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats.

In the climax of the match, Kurt Angle managed to hit his Angle Slam on The Undertaker, and it seemed like he was on the verge of victory. However, Kurt's momentary lapse in focus proved costly, as The Rock capitalized on the opportunity. The Rock delivered his iconic Rock Bottom to Kurt Angle and quickly covered him for the pinfall.

The referee counted to three, and the arena erupted in cheers as The Rock emerged as the new Undisputed WWE Champion. The Undertaker, who had tried to break up the pin, was just a second too late in his attempt.

It was a moment of triumph for The Rock and a memorable championship victory in a match that showcased the incredible talent and competitive spirit of all three WWE Superstars.
