BACKSTAGE NEWS AND SPECULATION ON THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE PICTURE HEADING INTO WRESTLEMANIA 32

After we saw Sami Zayn confront Kevin Owens on last nights RAW, fans immediately thought this meant Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 32 in a singles match. After doing a bit of research, it seems like they will be in a match together, but likely not as a singles match.

Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio said that Kevin Owens is still set to defend his Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania, but likely in a match against multiple opponents. This match would include Sami Zayn but also a number of others too.

This makes more sense when we look at the finish of the RAW match between Kevin Owens and Neville. Owens only got the win using a roll-up and not in decisive fashion. This likely means that Neville will still be involved in an angle with Owens, or else they would have just had him lose definitively.

The WWE also emphasized this in their RAW report on their website, saying:

“Kevin Owens has been crowing for weeks about the coming of #KOMania in Dallas (known to some as WrestleMania), and it appears not one, but two old enemies have come out of the woodwork to derail The Prizefighter’s path to The Show of Shows. First came Neville, who went toe-to-toe with The Prizefighter in a brutal non-title match and was ultimately denied by a rollup, despite landing two Shooting Star Presses and a second-rope Phoenix Splash”
