It looked like Dolph Ziggler had won the 20-man battle royal on WWE Battleground, which would have given him the Intercontinental Championship. Instead The Miz came into the ring and threw him over the top rope to win.
It was a bit confusing because usually when a wrestler is out of the ring they’ve been eliminated, but a wrestler has to be thrown over the top rope and The Miz went through the ropes. That loop hole allowed him to be outside the ring and climb in to steal the win.
WWE fans were not thrilled about it.

I literally jumped out of seat and started screaming when I thought Ziggler won!! But then Miz won and now I'm just sitting here in silence.
