5 Superstars who could dethrone Bobby Lashley as the Intercontinental Champion
On January 7th 2019, we saw Bobby Lashley become the Intercontinental Champion for the first time in his career during an episode of Raw after he had successfully defeated Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat match. This is the first time that Lashley has held gold in the WWE since 2007.

Due to the nature of Lashley's character, it seems likely that he will hold his title for a very long time. But nevertheless, any Superstar that defeats The All Mighty for the Intercontinental Championship will receive a huge push and it will be very beneficial.
Here, we will have a look at five potential Superstars who can dethrone Lashley to become the new Intercontinental Champion.
#5 Finn Balor
Over the last few weeks on Raw, we have seen Lashley take advantage of Finn Balor by brutally assaulting the leader of Balor Club.
This is because Lashley was originally set to be engaged in a rivalry with Seth Rollins following Rollins' Royal Rumble 2019 victory, but due to the injury that Rollins has suffered, Balor has proven to be the effective replacement for him.
Balor has stated that he wants to be the superstar to take the Intercontinental Championship away from Lashley, and he could prove to be a threat due to the fact that he took Brock Lesnar to his limits at Royal Rumble 2019 with the WWE Championship on the line.
There is no denying that Balor taking on Lashley would be a very believable match. Balor has been on a quest for championship gold ever since he was forced to relinquish his WWE Universal Championship due to an injury.
Balor would make a good option to defeat Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship so that he can finally win a title in the WWE since 2016.
