Booker T. wins his 1st and only I-C Heavyweight Championship against his longtime rival Christian (Cage)
Here's what happend:
When Stone Cold Steve Austin reinstated the I-C Gold on RAW, he decided to have a Battle Royal to determine the NEW I-C Heavyweight Champion.
Christian won that night, but the 5x WCW World Heavyweight Champion was NOT done, the following month at RAW's Bad Blood in H-Town, Booker T. had a match against Christian, but then Christian got himself DQ'd allowing him to retain the I-C Title, but then on June 30th on RAW, with Eric Bischoff in charge, Booker T. had another rematch against Christian, but then, Bischoff declared the match a DQ meaning Christian was still the champion, but at the end of that night, Bischoff got chokeslammed to hell by Kane.
But then, when Stone Cold came back, Christian was forced to defend the title in Montreal against Booker T., and when the referee counted the shoulders of Christian, referee called for the bell, but the match restarted, but at the end, it was the Axe Kick and for the 1st time ever, Booker T. was the WWE I-C Heavyweight Champion for the very 1st time joining the list of other wrestlers who have held the title such as Pat Patterson, Ahmed Johnson, Bret Hart, Curt Hennig, Macho Man Randy Savage, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Stone Cold Steve Austin and many others.
and now, 5 years later, Christian and Booker T. are now in TNA, and in 6 days at Victory Road in H-Town, Christian will team up with Rhino and AJ Styles against their foes Kurt Angle and Team 3-D and Booker T. will challenge Samoa Joe for the coveted TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
and as for the I-C Gold, it now in the hands of another African-American Kofi Kingston
