Chad Gable defeated AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix to retain the Intercontinental Championship throughout “WWE Uncooked.” Gable has been champion since defeating Fenix’s brother, Penta, at SummerSlam in August. He has since defended the title in opposition to Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee earlier than Fenix this week.
Gable shot for the ankle lock early within the opening phases of the bout, albeit to little impact as Fenix shortly scrambled for the ropes. Because the bout went on, he bought a near-fall off a moonsault, shortly reversing a rally from Fenix to cinch within the ankle lock once more. Fenix escaped that and commenced to rally once more, although he was shortly caught right into a pin try for one more two-count. Gable threw Fenix in opposition to the ropes however he got here again with a slingshot heel kick, solely to then get caught in an Olympic Slam for a near-fall.
The motion went to the skin and Fenix hit Adios Amigo from the apron, solely to get caught once more by Gable as he launched him into the barricade. They returned to the ring however Fenix caught Gable off guard with a rolling cutter, going for the quilt for 2. Fenix took issues to the highest rope and hit a hurricanrana off of it, following up with a moonsault for one more near-fall. He hit Adios Amigo once more and delivered a frog splash however Gable kicked out at two as soon as extra.
It was as Fenix tried to press that benefit and looked for his spinning Musclebuster that he was caught within the ankle lock once more, unable to search out an escape this time and compelled to submit.
