Back to Intercontinental Championship
Capitalizing on Fandango’s injury, the newest “Paul Heyman Guy,” Curtis Axel, became the new Intercontinental Champion by defeating Wade Barrett and The Miz in a Triple Threat match at WWE Payback. The same title that Axel’s father, Mr. Perfect, held for more than 400 days over the course of his career, became Axel’s on Father’s Day, to boot.
