6 Intercontinental Championship reigns of 2018 & their ratings
The Intercontinental Championship is one of the most prestigious belts in the WWE, and it is a dream of WWE Superstars to have that title around their waists. Chris Jericho holds the record for the most number of title reigns at 9, followed by the Miz and Dolph Ziggler.
There have been 80 Intercontinental Champions in WWE history, with Seth Rollins entering this list in 2018. In 2018, the Intercontinental Championship which is exclusive to Monday Night RAW changed hands 5 times
Seth Rollins won the title on 2 separate occasions in the year 2018, with his first title win coming at WrestleMania 34, followed by another championship triumph at SummerSlam 2018. Dean Ambrose is the current IC Champion. He defeated his former Shield brother, Seth Rollins at TLC to become a 3-time Intercontinental Champion.
This year, all 3 members of The Shield held the title at one point, and with the year about to end, here are my ratings for the Intercontinental Championship reigns of 2018.
#1 Roman Reigns
Days held in 2018 - 22
Lost to - The Miz (RAW 25)
Title defenses on TV in 2018 - 2
Roman Reigns had won the Intercontinental Championship in late 2017, and started the year 2018 defending the title against Samoa Joe in a singles match. The two Samoans gave us a brilliant match, which saw the Superman retain his title in the end.
Reigns next defended the belt against the Miz on the 25th anniversary of RAW, and in order to get out of the IC title picture ahead of WM 34, the creative team booked the Miz to win the belt from Roman, though in an unclean manner.
Overall, The Big Dog gave us 2 stellar matches in his 22 day title reign in 2018, and so I give his reign a B+.
Grade - B+
