5 Blockbuster Feuds for Seth Rollins as the Intercontinental Champion

Seth Rollins is one of the most versatile in-ring performers of this generation and WWE has been substantial in awarding his credibility with many titles over the past years.

The Architect defeated Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam, and could be in for a long run before he drops the belt to someone else.

Names like Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew Mcintyre certainly won't be pushed to clash against the Kingslayer for a title shot, at this point in time.

The Prizefighter can step up to deliver another classic feud

With Seth Rollins turning into a heroic babyface, the creative team could certainly look for a credible heel who could work well for an Intercontinental Championship program.

Enter Kevin Owens. The former Universal Champion possesses all the ingredients in the world that could assist him in clashing against a red-hot face in Seth Rollins.

While the two have feuded before for the Universal Championship, they still delivered some classic matches, and if provided with some solid booking, they could go at it, again.

Judging by how WWE have booked Samoa Joe against A.J. Styles, booking a more personal feud between the two could seriously invoke more positive anticipation from the crowd.

These two can still deliver a technical masterpiece between the ropes, and they are just one sensational narrative away from delivering the match of their lives.

#4 Chad Gable

This could be the start of something incredible

While this may sound highly unlikely, a babyface in Seth Rollins definitely provides competitors with an equal opportunity through his Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge.

Since Cesaro came into notice after his influential bouts against John Cena for the U.S. Championship, the creative team started pushing him towards the mid-card gold.

A certain creative direction could be taken here with Chad Gable who is struggling as a performer on Monday Night Raw in the absence of Jason Jordan.

With plans of reuniting American Alpha are doing the rounds, the company must provide Chad Gable with some mid-card exposure before letting them rule the tag-team division.

Considering how promising his abilities are, Seth Rollins could work wonders against him and deliver some extraordinary bouts that could reignite Chad Gable's forgotten WWE career.

#3 Bobby Roode

The Glorious One deserves a legitimate shot

Bobby Roode, a man who should have been a serious contender for the Universal Championship by now is struggling to even survive the mid-card slot on Monday Night Raw.

Vince McMahon's ideology of pushing reliable superstars of his choice has diminished the entire credibility of superstars like Bobby Roode and Finn Balor.

While the Glorious One is a former NXT Champion, he could still bounce back if WWE brings a monumental change in his characterization.

A legitimate heel turn could invite the possibility of a sensational encounter with the Architect who is perhaps the biggest babyface on WWE's flagship show.

Bobby Roode Vs. Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship has all the ingredients to be a pay-per-view classic, and must happen immediately.

#2 Sami Zayn

A masterpiece waiting to happen

A heel Sami Zayn Vs. a babyface Seth Rollins is the match you need to bring magic back on Monday Night Raw. The sheer potential of this feud could drastically alter Sami Zayn's entire career and bring him gold.

With Zayn recovering from an unfortunate injury, his return could coerce the creative team to book a refreshing start for the Canadian sensation.

The former NXT Champion has never won a single title on the main-roster and his yearning to prove himself might land him at Seth Rollins' yard.

Both the superstars have the capacity to deliver an all-time classic, and with the Architect working as a fighting champion, he could certainly assist in ascending Zayn as a top heel on WWE's flagship show.

#1 Dean Ambrose

The true villain has returned

This might be predictable, but this is the feud we all want to see. Dean Ambrose's incredible return has brought a breath of fresh air on Monday Night Raw, and with Rollins constantly acknowledging Ambrose for his successful victories, the Lunatic could turn soon.

The former WWE Champion deserves a monumental push as a heel, and imploding the Shield once again could ignite a monstrous feud between the two.

Considering how incredible their chemistry is, both the superstars could deliver some unforgettable encounters to the WWE Universe.

The Lunatic Fringe working as a psychopath against a red-hot babyface in Seth Rollins might shake the entire landscape on Monday Night Raw.

This is the kind of feud that can make the Intercontinental Championship into the most prestigious title in the company, at this moment.
