3 men who could dethrone Bobby Lashley as the Intercontinental Champion
Bobby Lashley returned to WWE after WrestleMania 34 and made his way into the Raw locker room. Fans were overjoyed by his return, as the man is an impressive wrestler with an even more impressive physique. Many even believed that he had been brought back to the company as the man who would beat Brock Lesnar, but that wasn’t so.
After some impressive initial showings, Lashley slowly fell down to the mid-card and got into an awkward rivalry with Sami Zayn, which ended with both men’s reputations being damaged.
Since then, Lashley and the creatives have been working hard to revive his reputation and also increase his value on Raw.
They did so first by giving him a mouthpiece in Lio Rush, and later got him some better matches to prove his dominance.
Finally, WWE pulled the trigger and included him into the feud between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins which resulted in him surprising everyone and winning the Intercontinental Championship which was held by Dean Ambrose.
Now as the new Intercontinental Champion, there are a few men who could be eyeing his championship and become his next competitor for the title.
Let’s take a look at 3 superstars who have the highest chances of dethroning Lashley as the Intercontinental Champion.
#3 Dean Ambrose
The first obvious choice in the list, Dean Ambrose was the man Lashley beat in a triple-threat match to win the championship.
The cat and mouse chase between these two men could continue for some time for the Intercontinental Championship, but it is possible that Lashley will hold the championship for at least a few months so that he is brought to the forefront of the roster. Lashley might come out on top after every match between Ambrose and himself.
However, somewhere down the line, it is possible that Ambrose will come back for the title once again become one of the most prominent superstars on Raw, and will win it from Lashley at WrestleMania 35 or after that.
Expect these two men to compete for the title for a few weeks before Lashley moves onto another competitor before Ambrose comes back into the title picture.
