In a throwback to the electrifying world of professional wrestling, we revisit a thrilling bout from the WWE archives that pitted The Miz, accompanied by Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, against the relentless Jason Jordan. The WWE Intercontinental Championship was on the line, and sparks were set to fly in this intense showdown.
The stage was set as JoJo introduced The Miz, who had dedicated this match to his unborn child, and his formidable allies, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas. But the spotlight quickly shifted to the determined #1 contender, Jason Jordan, as he made his way to the squared circle amidst a chorus of cheers from the audience.
The match kicked off without formal introductions, with Jordan wasting no time launching an early pin attempt. The pace was furious as both competitors jockeyed for control, with Jordan displaying his fireman’s carry takedown prowess and a textbook Northern Lights Suplex. The crowd’s anticipation was palpable.

However, The Miz, crafty as ever, sought refuge outside the ring to catch his breath. Axel and Dallas joined in the fray, surrounding Jordan and creating a distraction that would prove pivotal. Miz capitalized on this opportunity, sending Jordan crashing into the barrier and apron, ultimately gaining a 2-count pinfall.
Miz continued his offensive onslaught, targeting Jordan’s back with a series of knee strikes and taunting chants from the WWE Universe. Still, Jordan demonstrated his resilience, countering Miz’s offense with a close two-count after a devastating clothesline.
The match continued with a display of technical wrestling prowess from both competitors, including a Crossface submission by Jordan that had Miz scrambling for the ropes. The crowd erupted into a “this is awesome” chant, encapsulating the intensity of the encounter.
The climax arrived when Jordan appeared to have the match in his grasp, executing a series of suplexes and corner spears. However, Bo Dallas intervened from the top rope, providing Miz with the opening he needed to secure the victory. The Skull Crushing Finale spelled the end for Jordan, and The Miz retained his Intercontinental Championship.
Post-match, Renee Young attempted to get Jordan’s thoughts on his performance, to which he candidly admitted disappointment. He lamented the odds stacked against him in the form of The Miz and his henchmen. Jordan, who still didn’t hold any respect for The Miz, requested a rematch, a proposition met with mixed reactions from the WWE Universe.
