IGN Talks To:

Wade Barret vs. The Miz

The (now) hour long pre-show, involved a backstage skit featuring the Miz and Jersey's own Snooki, a lot of 'Mania hype, a weird Tout segment featuring Judah Friedlander from 30 Rockand then a match for the Intercontinental Championship.

The Miz won a quick, fast paced match to capture the Intercontinental Championship by getting Wade Barrett to tap to the Figure Four.  And then, it started to rain.  Not saying those two events are connected, just observing.  The match was fine for what it was, a pre-PPV bout.  Barrett hit Miz with a Bossman Slam and Wasteland, but it wasn't enough. For the record, Miz's Figure Four looks fine.

Let's hope the rain stops soon.

The winner and new Intercontinental Champion - The Miz!

Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show vs. The Shield

Sheamus and Orton worked over Reigns and Rollins for a bit before Big Show finally tagged himself in. Ambrose attempted a chest chop on Show before receiving six chops in a row for his trouble. Amazingly, Show was the first person The Shield took to their corner to work over.

Soon there was a hot tag and Orton and Sheamus came in to clean house. The tide turned once again and The Shield came out on top (thanks to a suicide dive bomb by Rollins). A Triple Bomb attempt on Sheamus was thwarted by a double spear from Big Show.

Then Orton stole a tag that was meant for Big Show. RKO on Rollins. But Reigns with a spear on Orton and...Big Show doesn't help. It's over. See. Egos. As it turns out, after all the rhetoric, they couldn't work together!

After the bell, Big Show knocked out Sheamus and Orton. No heel turn for Orton. Clean win for The Shield. The blame has to lie on the "good guys" here since Sheamus and Orton never included Show in the tags like they should have.

The Winners - The Shield!

Ryback vs. Mark Henry
