Taping Date: 7/24/12 - Air Date: 7/27/12 - Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri IC champion The Miz beat Christian to retain the Intercontinental Title. Christian said he's invoking his re-match clause. Miz retained with a schoolboy and handful of tights. Good match. Lots of nearfalls. Ryback beat Jinder Mahal via count-out. Jinder walked out of the match. Ryback sold far too much. Sheamus beat Cody Rhodes with the Brogue Kick in a non-title match. Dolph Ziggler came out mid-match, then teased cashing in afterward, but walked off. But, Chris Jericho jumped Ziggler, rolled him into the ring, and Dolph took the Brogue Kick followed by Codebreaker from Jericho. Antonio Cesaro beat U.S. champion Santino in a non-title match. Damien Sandow beat Yoshi Tatsu, then Triple H made his advertised off-camera appearance dropping Sandow with a Pedigree.

Maybe bringing in people like Mysterio to build them up would work, so you have to make his a threat so him laying down means more.
