SmackDown Update - Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston for the Inter Continental Championship
Kofi Kingston was robbed off his title shot for the Inter Continental Championship at Summer Slam. Just when he was fighting Dolph Ziggler with the title on the line, Nexus interfered in the match and destroyed both wrestlers. The wrestling establishment decided that due to the attack, Kofi deserves another title shot on Friday Night SmackDown. All Nexus members are on RAW roster and there were little chances that they would come to SmackDown to interfere in the match.
The crowd cheered heavily as Kofi Kingston entered the ring with his signature style. Dolph Ziggler was accompanied by his girlfriend and official consultant to SmackDown General Manager, Vickie Guerrero. Vickie has illegally used her powers and helped Dolph Ziggler to win his important matches against Kofi Kinston. There were chances that she would interfere in the match again since no referee had the power to stop her as she was from the wrestling establishment. The stage was set for an explosive and gruelling fight.
The fight started as Kofi delivered a huge punch to Ziggler’s face. The punch was so hard that Ziggler immediately left the ring to rethink his strategy. Ziggler knew that Kofi was extremely angry so he needed to step-up his game. Dolph Ziggler then entered the ring after waiting for few minutes and smashed Kofi’s back on the ring floor. Ziggler then went for the cover but Kofi kicked out before the referee’s final count of three.
Ziggler was on a roll as he grabbed Kofi’s neck with his big arm. Kofi struggled for a few moments but the grip of Ziggler’s arm proved too much for him. Ziggler then jumped in the air and dropped his elbow hard on Kofi’s back. Ziggler again went for the cover but Kofi was determined to win the match so he kicked out before the referee’s final count. Kofi fought back by delivering a huge standing drop kick to Ziggler’s jaw. Kofi then ran in the ring to build some momentum, jumped in the air and landed on Ziggler to deliver hardcore punches to his face.
Kofi was fired up and was ready to win the match. He climbed the top turn buckle and prepared himself to land on Ziggler to create the maximum impact. Just when everything was ready, Vickie Guerrero came from behind and pushed Kofi Kingston on the ring floor. It was a devastating fall as Kofi was not ready at all. The referee saw the outside interference and cancelled the match.
This was yet another blow to Kofi Kingston as cancellation meant that Dolph Ziggler remained the Inter Continental Champion. Kofi was robed again of his title shot. It was a moment of no return as he was angry and furious like a wild animal. He wanted to rip Dolph Ziggler apart because Dolph always referred to cheating and illegal means to win his matches. No one had ever seen this wild side of Kofi Kingston. Kofi ran outside the ring to grab Ziggler and rip him apart.
But just when Kofi tried to approach Ziggler, Vickie Guerrero came in his way and tried to stop him. Kofi did not want to disappoint his wrestling fans and attack a woman. He also knew that Vickie Guerrero was the official consultant to the SmackDown General Manager. Just when Kofi was trapped in the dilemma, Dolph Ziggler came from behind and attacked him.
Dolph Ziggler banged Kofi Kingston on the boundary wall and started delivering kicks to different parts of his body. It was devastating for Kofi Kingston as he felt the pain ripping apart his body. Dolph then took Kofi inside the ring and delivered the Zig Zag to smash Kofi’s back on the ring floor. Kofi Kingston may have lost the day but he will surely come back and take his revenge to become the new Inter Continental Champion.
