The Intercontinental Championship will be on the line next Friday.
On the February 25 episode of SmackDown, Sami Zayn held his Intercontinental Championship celebration, but it was interrupted by Johnny Knoxville. After being insulted by the Jackass star, Zayn rejected a match proposal from Knoxville. As he feigned leaving the ring, Zayn turned around and attacked Knoxville, hitting him with a Helluva Kick before walking away.
Backstage, Adam Pearce confronted Sami and scolded him for busting up Knoxville. They were then joined by Ricochet who challenged Sami to a title match. Sami told Ricochet to go to the back of the line, but Adam Pearce disagreed with the Master Strategist, making the bout official for the March 4 episode of SmackDown.
