SEATTLE – Wade Barrett retained the coveted Intercontinental Title, but Ezekiel Jackson walked away with the victory. It took Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater’s interference to end the match in a disqualification.
Ezekiel Jackson def. Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett (Disqualification)
Heading into WWE Over the Limit, both Superstars had made it abundantly clear how they felt about each other. Jackson had walked away from The Corre during a match with Big Show and Kane, resulting in Barrett, Slater and Gabriel attacking Jackson in the locker room and “excommunicating” him from the group.
Barrett, the first winner of WWE NXT, has stared down the likes of John Cena and Randy Orton and held his own. However, underestimating your opponent is the biggest mistake any WWE Superstar can make. Barrett believed he could handle Jackson inside the ring, but as he quickly learned, the “Personification of Domination” is an absolute powerhouse.
With the tension building up in weeks prior, it seemed to be a matter of time before Jackson would smash Barrett. However, the Englishman is no slouch himself and managed to mount an offense expected from the Intercontinental Champion. Yet every time Barrett gained the upper hand, it seemed to only enrage Jackson further, as if there was something super-powered flowing through his veins.
Finally, when Jackson’s power reached a peak, the intensely loyal Gabriel and Slater made the quick decision to intervene and end the match, which followed with the group’s brutal assault on Jackson.
