The New Intercontinental Champion, Ezekiel Jackson, successfully defends his Championship
Ezekiel Jackson’s golden journey as an Intercontinental Champion has started and he smashed away the very first stumbling block of his journey. Four days after winning the IC Championship, Jackson successfully defended his Championship over Wade Barrett
tonight, during Friday Night SmackDown.
After a long feud with Corre members, Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater, Jackson finally got the Intercontinental title shot against the former Champion Barrett. Jackson successfully won the championship at 'Capitol Punishment' on June 19, by
hitting series of Powerful Body Slams to Barrett. It was the first championship victory by the most powerful superstar of SmackDown roster.
Five days after 'Capitol Punishment', the former champion, Barrett was given another opportunity to face for Intercontinental Championship. Ezekiel had gotten much momentum due to 'Capitol Punishment' victory. It was clearly mentioned that no other Corre
member would interrupt during the fight. The Championship match started after the Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan match.
When the match started, Barrett attacked Jackson from behind and then took him towards the ring. Barrett threw Jackson into the ringside stairs then rolled into the ring. Referee confirmed from Jackson whether he could fight or not. Jackson said that he
was still willing to fight. The WWE Universe applauded Jackson, while Barrett got woes from the WWE Universe. Barrett started kicking and punching Jackson and took him into the corner. Jackson tried to hit The Irish Whip, but Barrett survived and nailed Jackson
with a kick and clothesline. Then, Barrett hit another Irish Whip and his trademark hit, Bossman Slam, for two counts.
Barrett tried to hit his finishing move Wasteland, but Jackson survived and got into the momentum. Jackson nailed Barrett with clothesline and body blocks then banged him into the corner. Barrett lifted Jackson on his shoulder for Wasteland again, but Jackson
escaped and got locked into the Fortune Rack. Barrett could not block it and tapped out after losing momentum.
Jackson became the successful Intercontinental Champion again after this victory. Barrett lost the final opportunity for Championship again. The next Friday Night SmackDown will decide the next challenge for new IC Champion, Jackson.
