A look at the WWE Fastlane match between Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship.
On the Feb. 15 episode of WWE Raw, Kevin Owens won the Intercontinental Championship in a Fatal 5-Way match. He would pin Tyler Breeze and not Dean Ambrose, who was the holder of the belt. This marked KO’s second reign with the title.
Before this, Dolph Ziggler had been going head to head with the former NXT Champion on multiple occasions. The Showoff won the past few matches, so he challenged for a shot at the IC title at Fastlane. Owens was reluctant, but the match was made.
