After Shawn Michaels was stripped of the Intercontinental Championship due to not defending the title within 30 days, WWE president Jack Tunney set up a battle royal on an edition of Raw to determine the top two contenders for the title. Razor Ramon and Rick Martel were the final two members of the battle royal, so they faced off against each other for the title. Ramon came out on top to win his first Intercontinental Championship. Michaels later came back, claiming to be the real Intercontinental Champion since no one had beaten him. The two met in a classic ladder match at WrestleMania X that is still talked about today, and Ramon came away as the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.
