 McIntyre then lost to The Undertaker on 19 March and also failed to win the Money in the Bank match on 28 March at WrestleMania XXVI, his first WrestleMania appearance.In weeks after this, McIntyre continuously attacked Matt Hardy until he was stripped of his title on 7 May by Long and suspended for the purposes of the storyline; McMahon decreed he be reinstated as champion the following week, undermining Long's authority which developed tension between McIntyre and Long.As a result, McIntyre faced Kofi Kingston—who had won a tournament to determine the new champion—at Over the Limit on 23 May and lost the championship after 161 days.
