WWE 25 February 2021 Seth Rollins vs Balor vs Miz Epic Match Full Highlights
The Miz, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins did battle in a highly entertaining Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 34 on Sunday in New Orleans.
Rollins prevailed as IC champion, but all three competitors turned in strong performances on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Balor appeared to have the match won after hitting the Coup de Grace on The Miz. But Rollins intervened and delivered the Blackout to Balor, with Balor's head hitting The Miz's back. Rollins then hit the Blackout on Miz before the incumbent champion could get to his feet, which was enough to secure the win.

While singles matches tend to stand the test of time more so than those involving multiple Superstars, there is a rich history of Triple Threats at WrestleMania.
The battle between Miz, Balor and Rollins was among the best. However, here is a closer look at three others that managed to top it.
Chris Benoit vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 20)
When eliminating tag team Triple Threats from contention since the bouts between Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz at WrestleMania 2000 and WrestleMania X-Seven reside in another stratosphere, the greatest Triple Threat in WrestleMania history took place at the 20th anniversary of the event.
Very few WrestleManias have ended with anything other than a singles match, but WrestleMania 20 closed with Triple H attempting to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against best friend Shawn Michaels and Royal Rumble winner Chris Benoit.
The dynamic within the match was special since Triple H and Michaels were already well-established top guys, while Benoit was still trying to get to the top of the mountain after many years in the business.
There was an organic groundswell of support behind The Rabid Wolverine and an arena full of people who wanted to see him get his moment on the WrestleMania stage.
The match itself was nearly 25 minutes of back-and-forth action with tons of near-falls, and it garnered Benoit plenty of face sympathy since Triple H and HBK double-teamed him at various points.
