– John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio at tonight’s SmackDown tapings in Cleveland, Ohio to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion, in what was described as a pay-per-view quality match.
No word on why WWE didn’t give the shot to the #1 contender Dolph Ziggler but he only worked a dark match at tonight’s tapings, defeating Jimmy Wang Yang.
Rey Mysterio’s thirty-day suspension begins tomorrow.
