5 realistic contenders to defeat Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship
Seth Rollins has successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship on four televised WWE shows in the last fortnight, but who will be next to hold the prestigious title?
Having defeated Finn Balor and Mojo Rawley in back-to-back weeks with the championship on the line, “The Kingslayer” issued another open challenge for the upcoming episode of Raw in London, which has been accepted by Kevin Owens.
Assuming KO doesn't win the match, here are five realistic contenders who could take the title from the Shield member:
#5 Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin has been a constant presence on WWE programming ever since he joined the main roster in April 2016, and recent reports have suggested that he is in line for a renewed push on Raw in the next few months.
Realistically, “The Lone Wolf” isn’t going to challenge for the Universal Championship this summer, nor is he likely to win the Money In The Bank contract for the second year in a row, so perhaps he’ll begin to target Seth Rollins in the not-too-distant future.
The former United States champion previously challenged for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 33, where he lost to Dean Ambrose on the kickoff show, but he would be a much more worthy holder of the title if he were to win it now.
