The third time was the charm for Umaga against Santino Marella, as The Samoan Bulldozer defeated the Italian Superstar to regain Intercontinental gold on the July 2 Raw.

Umaga was disqualified at Vengeance: Night of Champions for brutalizing Santino; this time, however, The Samoan Bulldozer stayed within the rules, dropping Marella with a Samoan Spike to avenge his April loss to Santino and become a two-time Intercontinental Champion.
