Sami Zayn made his return to Friday Night SmackDown earlier this month, and has been attempting to prove he was the true WWE Intercontinental Champion ever since. During tonight’s episode, Jeff Hardy – the current IC champion – had enough, challenging both Zayn and AJ Styles to a Ladder Match for the belt at Clash of Champions.
