WWE Wrestlemania 39: Triple Threat Title Match and Fatal-4-Way announced

Last
week
on
Smackdown,
Drew
McIntyre
vs.
Sheamus
vs.
LA
Knight
vs.
Karrion
Kross
vs.
Xavier
Woods
in
a
fatal-5-way
went
down
with
the
winner
earning
a
title
shot
being
the
stipulation.
However,
McIntyre
and
Sheamus
pinned
LA
and
Woods
at
the
same
time
which
never
produced
any
outcome.

Then
last
night,
WWE
booked
McIntyre
vs.
Sheamus
in
an
Intercontinental
Championship
Qualifying
Match
capacity.
It
ended
in
a
DQ
when
Ludwig
Kaiser
and
Giovanni
Vinci
of
Imperium
attacked
them,
leading
to
an
unprecedented
finish
to
the
match.

WWE
Official
Adam
Pearce
then
appeared
on
the
big
screen
to
announce
a
Triple
Threat
match
for
the
Intercontinental
Championship
at
WrestleMania
39
where
GUNTHER
will
have
to
defend
against
Sheamus
and
Drew
McIntyre
in
a
No-DQ
environment.

The
former
NXT
UK
Champion
has
been
holding
the
Intercontinental
Title
more
than
anyone
else
in
this
century
starting
from
last
year’s
June
when
he
defeated
Ricochet
for
the
title.
The
Wrestlemania
39
title
defence
is
likely
to
be
his
toughest
one.

In
more
announcements
around
the
Show
of
Shows
coming
out
of
this
week’s
Smackdown,
commentator
Wade
Barrett
noted
that
two
Fatal-4-Way
tag
team
matches,
one
each
from
men’s
and
women’s
divisions
will
be
on
the
show.

In
the
first
qualifier
for
the
same
on
Smackdown,
Liv
Morgan
and
Raquel
Rodriguez
defeated
the
team
of
Tegan
Nox
and
Emma
to
punch
their
tickets
to
Wrestlemania
39,
with
Morgan
picking
up
the
pin-fall
over
Emma
via
Oblivion
finisher.

While
there’re
no
confirmations,
chances
are
high
that
Ronda
Rousey
and
Shayna
Baszler
will
be
one
of
the
four
teams
instead
of
them
directly
challenging
the
Women’s
Tag
Team
Champions
Becky
Lynch
&
WWE
Hall
of
Famer
Lita.

Specific
stakes
for
the
upcoming
Fatal-4-Ways
are
yet
to
be
announced.
It’s
also
not
clear
when
and
how
the
men’s
division
tag
match
participants
will
be
confirmed.
