WWE Raw started a tournament, this week to crown the new number-one contender to the Intercontinental Championship, and it will continue on the next episode. Two of the four finalists of a fatal-4-way have been declared on the latest bygone episode while the rest will be announced via two more triple threats.

As declared on the August 26 episode of WWE Raw, multiple superstars will be placed in a tournament with four matches setting up the winner for a fatal-4-way, the winner of which will face Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Champion on the September 9 episode.

On the latest episode of WWE Raw, Jey Uso defeated Kofi Kingston and Karrion Kross in a Triple Threat Match to advance in the Intercontinental Championship Number-One Contender’s Tournament. Kross was busy sending Kofi out of the ring as Uso ended up hitting a spear and a frog splash off the top rope to secure the win.
