The Miz to defend belt against Sami Zayn at Survivor Series
Wednesday 16 November 2016 13:21, UK
The Miz will defend the Intercontinental Title against Sami Zayn at Survivor Series - after winning the belt from Dolph Ziggler on WWE Smackdown.
Ziggler was scheduled to put the title on the line against Raw Superstar Zayn in Toronto on Sunday night, but The Miz has now taken his spot after a controversial triumph on Tuesday evening.
The Awesome One and Ziggler faced off on Smackdown's 900th episode, with The Miz emerging victorious when his wife, Maryse, pushed Ziggler into a pinfall.
Ziggler had managed to fend off interference from his former Spirit Squad pals, Kenny and Mikey, but still went on to lose the title he ha pinched from The Miz at No Mercy in October.
Elsewhere, Kalisto warmed up for his Cruiserweight Title opportunity against Brian Kendrick at Survivor Series by defeating NXT star Oney Lorcan with a Salida del Sol.
Nikki Bella's singles skirmish with Carmella ended in a no contest, with the match called off when Bella smashed Raw Women's Champion Charlotte, who was watching at ringside, with a forearm.
Bella's actions instigated a massive brawl between Raw and Smackdown's female stars ahead of their clash at Survivor Series, which included Nia Jax being slammed through the barricade.
American Alpha, The Usos, The Hype Bros and Breezango downed The Headbangers, The Vaudevillains, The Ascension and The Spirit Squad in a 16-man tag-team match.
The winning side, as well as reigning Smackdown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater and Rhyno, were then given a pep talk by Booker T before they face five Raw duos on Sunday night.
