Tournament Finale for the Vacant WWE Intercontinental Title was next on SmackDown with the lineup being Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles. Bryan was in control by releasing German Suplexes and applying the YES Lock. AJ got rid of it as Bryan tried to connect with the YES Kick. But Styles countered with the Styles Clash and then delivered the Phenomenal Forearm on Bryan to secure the win and become new Intercontinental Champion.
