Chad Gable to take on Sami Zayn for Intercontinental Championship in Montreal

Sami Zayn will be defending his title against Chad Gable in the upcoming Monday Night Raw which is set to take place in Montreal. Zayn gave him an opportunity for Gable to face him in his hometown for the Intercontinental championship as he felt his 'coach' to be a deserving candidate to have a go at the title which he won in WrestleMania XL.

Sami created an upset when he beat Gunther on Night one of WrestleMania XL in an unprecedented way. Not many would have thought him to achieve the feat considering the dominant run of the ring general as a champion. Being upset by the loss, the Imperium members challenged Sami to a match on Monday Night Raw. Gable partnered with Sami in the match.

It turned out to be a good match. Sami initially struggled as he was tired after a big night in WrestleMania. Gable took the preceding and took on the Imperium duo of Ludwig Kaiser and Vinci. Gable and Zayn shared a good chemistry as a tag team which looked good in the ring. The crowd was behind them which helped the duo to claim a win against the Imperium duo.

Earlier that night, Zayn received a thunderous welcome from the fans after winning the title at WrestleMania. The fans sang Sami's song and came up with chants of 'You deserve it'. That was when the duo of Ludwig and Vinci attacked Sami and forced a match. Sami was in the arena to thank fans, Kevin Owens, and everyone else who helped him to achieve the unthinkable on the big night.

The Intercontinental champion appreciated Gunther and regarded him to be the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time following his reign of 666 days. After the match against Kaiser and Vinci, Sami went to Gable backstage who was with the members of the Alpha Academy, and offered him a go at the title. Gable was happy to accept it. The match might feature in the main event of Raw next week.
