Kevin Owens wins the first title of his WWE career at Night of Champions

The Intercontinental Championship changed hands in the first match of tonight’s WWE Night of Champions PPV and the finish was anything but clean.

Now former champion, Ryback, with both straps down, went to perform his shellshock finisher for the second time in the match but Owens was able to rake the eyes of his opponent without the referee seeing it. Following the rake, Owens scored the victory with a quick schoolboy roll up to earn the first WWE title of his career. Check it out in moving picture form below.
