Intercontinental Title Match Announced For 2/18 WWE SmackDown

By Dominic DeAngelo

Sami Zayn will challenge Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Title in two weeks.

The match was made on the February 4 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. This comes after Sami Zayn complained to Adam Pearce that he was kicked out of the “Jackass Forever” premiere.

Zayn earned the title shot by winning the 12 Days of Christmas Gauntlet Match on the December 24 episode. Nakamura has been sidelined in recent weeks, but he returned to action at WWE Royal Rumble. The two men have some history together, as Nakamura previously worked with Zayn in the Artist Collective, a trio that also featured Cesaro.
