WWE's 8-man Intercontinental Cup was scheduled to kick off on tonight's episode of Main Event, however, no matches for the Cup took place at Tuesday night's WWE TV tapings from San Diego, California.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett has been teasing a "major announcement" regarding the Cup, and here it is:
"I am pleased to announce that I have managed to negotiate a complete cancellation of the Intercontinental Cup tournament."
"I think you'll all agree that this is fantastic news. Warm regards, Your Intercontinental Champion."
The 3-week Cup was going to determine the #1 contender to Barrett's Intercontinental title. WWE's decision to pull the plug on the Intercontinental Cup tournament idea less than 24 hours after promoting on RAW is just another example of the creative team changing direction on the fly. Wade Barrett will continue his feud with WWE newcomer Bo Dallas. WWE decided late last week to hold the NXT tournament at the Royal Rumble fan fest and picked Bo Dallas to win it and begin a program with Barrett.
