Jeff Hardy once again became WWE Intercontinental Champion this week on SmackDown.

It all went down on the first episode of SmackDown from inside the ThunderDome where Hardy faced-off against AJ Styles for the belt.

Styles dominated most of the match by focusing on a knee injury setup earlier in the show. However, in the closing moments of the match, Jeff kicked AJ in the head with his knee brace to reverse an attempt at the Styles Clash. He then performed a Twist of Fate and went to the top rope for a successful Swanton Bomb to get the pinfall victory.

This is Jeff Hardy's fifth IC title reign.

Watch his win in the video below.
