 The third main feud heading into the event was between Chris Jericho and Christian over the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship . On the September 6 , 2004 edition of Raw , Eric Bischoff stripped Edge of the Intercontinental Championship , after Edge suffered a legitimate injury . Christian interrupted Bischoff and stated that all his peeps would riot the streets if Bischoff did not award him the vacant championship . Jericho suggested that he and Christian wrestle in a match on Raw over the vacant championship . Bischoff , however , scheduled a Ladder match at Unforgiven between Christian and Jericho .
