The Goodfellas kitchen single camera shot follows him all the way through, where he emerges in a sea of fans loudly singing along as his theme hits. A fan hands him a Canadian flag, which he takes, wraps around himself and begins the long walk down through the crowd to the ring for our main event of the evening. He gets all the way to the bottom and says let’s go again! He walks back up the other side of the crowd as we head into a commercial break.

When we return, we see Zayn wrapping up his entrance. It is announced that a new WWE Women’s World Champion will be crowned on next week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. Also scheduled for the show next week is Awesome Truth vs. DIY for the new WWE World Tag-Team Championships, as well as Ricochet & Andrade vs. Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh in tag-team action.

Backstage, we see “Big” Bronson Reed confront Chad Gable right before he is about to head out to the ring. Reed delivers a warning to Gable, who ignores him as his “SHOOSH!” plays in the arena and his theme gets going. Out he comes for our final match of the evening. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. We see some intense back-and-forth action as things get started. The two get in a fiery nose-to-nose stare down as we head into a mid-match break.

Upon returning from the break, we hear loud “Ole! Ole!” chants as Zayn gets some time in the offensive spotlight. After he hits some big spots, Gable starts to take over in front of this very one-sided, pro-Zayn crowd in Montreal. After Gable hits an impressive athletic high spot, we shift gears and head into yet another mid-match commercial break. When we return, we see Gable hit a modified Angle Slam off the top-rope on Zayn. Ouch. Sami’s wife is shown reacting to this in the crowd.

Gable continues to dominate the majority of the offense in the final minutes of this main event title tilt. He slaps the ankle lock on the leg of Zayn’s that he has been working on throughout the match. Zayn is stuck in the hold forever, but he eventually escapes to keep this one going. Zayn hits a big exploder suplex on Gable into the turnbuckles in the corner of the ring. He backs up and sprints forward, connecting with a Helluva Kick for the pin fall victory for the win. With the win, Zayn retains the I-C title to a huge hometown pop.

Winner and STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: Sami Zayn

Chad Gable Snaps, Attacks Sami Zayn In Front Of His Family

After the match, we see Sami’s wife celebrating his win in the crowd. Zayn poses with his title in the middle of the ring as we see some blood on his dome from the match. He lays the title down and looks over at an upset Gable in the corner. He heads over to console him. Gable isn’t interested, but ends up letting him help him up. He holds back tears, raises Zayn’s hand in victory and exits the ring. Zayn heads over to hug his dad and wife in the crowd, but as he does, he is attacked from behind by Gable.

Gable takes him out with a German suplex on the floor and then runs him into the steel ring post. He throws him on the commentary desk and then back into the ring. He slaps the ankle lock on Zayn’s bad leg through the ropes as officials try and pull him off. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
