After all, it appears that the rumored Triple Threat for the WWE Intercontinental Title will take place at WrestleMania 39.
The Fatal 5 Way to crown the next challenger to WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER for WrestleMania 39 kicked off Friday night’s SmackDown on FOX. The match featured Xavier Woods vs. LA Knight vs. Karrion Kross vs. Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre. However, no official winner was declared because Sheamus pinned Woods while McIntyre pinned Knight. As there were two referees in the ring, both pins were counted. The segment ended with the two referees arguing, as well as Sheamus and McIntyre.
