3 Possible Endings for WWE IC title Ladder match at Wrestlemania 31

The 7-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Title has all the attributes to steal the show. And if the in-ring build up is anything to go by, we are in for a rollicking ride come Wrestlemania 31. Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper, Stardust, R-Truth and champion Bad News Barrett are all wrestlers capable of putting on a good show.While the in-ring action promises much, the hide and seek storyline that played out often lacked depth and actual heat between wrestlers. To compensate, the WWE has started plugging betting odds for the match. The character build-up has been slightly comical at times. BNB has been ranting about how everyone seems to steal his belt from him while Ambrose, ZIggler and Bryan have been chummy with one another.The Stardust gimmick has not really caught on, what with the audience chanting “Cody” at every opportunity available. R-Truth has signed up for a ladder match after claiming to have a fear of heights. Luke Harper hardly does anything other than stare.However, in fairness to the WWE, they have been promoting the match as a wrestling-centric show stealer, and it promises to be as much. All the aforementioned wrestlers each bring their unique style of fighting to the table, and come Wrestlemania 31, the ladder match for the IC Title promises to be a jaw-dropping encounter that could well steal the show as promised. 

#1 Credibility to the IC Title

Of the 7 men, it is hard to argue with the theory that Daniel Bryan, on current momentum, would help to most elevate the Intercontinental Title. Bryan has spoken recently about how his heroes when growing up were yesteryear greats who held the title, and how he has held all the belts in the WWE excepting the Intercontinental Championship.

The ladder match at Wrestlemania 31 could provide the completion in Daniel Bryan’s trophy cabinet, and early signs point to the fact that the WWE are going with this outcome as Plan A.

Daniel Bryan is a fantastic in-ring worker, and has developed a massive fan following with his affirmative Yes! Movement backed up by awesome in-ring performances. The WWE only needs to remember the fan backlash following Royal Rumble to understand how popular Bryan is.

The primary reason why the fans started booing Roman Reigns is not because they did not like Reigns, but rather because the WWE gave Roman Reigns the Royal Rumble victory instead of Daniel Bryan.

The WWE does not seem likely to repeat the same mistake twice, as Bryan is the odds on favourite to walk out of Wrestlemania 31 in possession of the Intercontinental Title.
