Daniel Bryan could feature in the Intercontinental title ladder match at WrestleMania 31 after attempting to steal the belt at this week's WWE SmackDown tapings.
Over the past two weeks, a number of superstars, including Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper and Dean Ambrose, have gained possession of the title currently held by Bad News Barrett, and at the conclusion of the main event between the quartet, Bryan did the same.
However, as he headed up the entrance ramp, the former WWE World Heavyweight champion was attacked by Stardust, who ended the evening holding the strap.
Elsewhere on the show, which will air on Sky Sports on Thursday night, Rusev secured an easy victory over Jack Swagger, while Big Show defeated Ryback with the KO punch.
The New Day capitalised on a disagreement between The Miz and Damien Mizdow, with Tyson Kidd and Cesaro getting the better of Los Matadores.
