The Story: At the Royal Rumble, Finn Balor captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship from John Cena, and every since that day, he has defended the title successfully.
The next following month after Fastlane, Dean Ambrose would deliver a Dirty Deeds to the champion, staking his claim to the title. Roman Reigns would then show his interest in the Intercontinental Championship, by hitting his Tag Team partner with a Superman Punch.
It wasn't long until other competitors such as Brother Nero, Shelton Benjamin, Apollo Crews, Seth Rollins and Marcel Green, would stake their claim as well.
It was then announced that Finn Balor would defend his title, in an eight man Ladder Match. Can Finn Balor overcome the odds and retain his title?
