5 Superstars who can become the next Intercontinental Champion

Seth Rollins became a 2-time Intercontinental Champion when he defeated Dolph Ziggler at Summerslam. Rollins has continued from where The Miz left off in making this title prestigious. He has defended the championship week after week and put on amazing matches on every time.

Rollins has been red-hot since the gauntlet match earlier this year, in which he pinned Roman Reigns and John Cena on the same night. It only makes sense that he drops the title and moves onto bigger things.

Here are five credible superstars who can burn down Seth's dynasty.

---

#1 Dean Ambrose

The Lunatic Fringe aka Dean Ambrose made his much-awaited return the week before SummerSlam to help his Shield buddy Seth Rollins to take down the pair of Dolph Ziggler and Drew Mcintyre. This time off has done lots of good as he is in a better shape than he was before the injury.

Although he might have returned as a babyface, it is almost inevitable that he will turn heel by attacking his best friend Seth Rollins. Rollins is the most over Superstar in WWE right now and what better way to get real heat on Dean than attacking a vulnerable Seth.

Dean is not that gifted with in-ring abilities but he is absolutely skillful when it comes to cutting promos and storytelling. Seth and Dean can truly burn the house down just like they have many a time in the past.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre made his successful comeback to the Raw roster by forming an alliance with Dolph Ziggler and the duo quickly went on to capture the Raw Tag Team Championships.

Ever since he made his comeback, he has looked much more determined than before with all the experience that he has gained with his stints in NXT and Impact Wrestling. He has been in loggerheads with the current IC champ, Seth Rollins for quite some time now and the rumor is that he may be in line for a big push.

So there is no better way to enhance his reputation than to make him the person who dethrones Seth as the new Intercontinental Champion.

#3 Elias

If there is a person who is over with the WWE Universe, it has to be Elias. He produces musical performances week in and week out always getting some kind of reaction from the audience. He can surely elevate the prestige of the IC Title with his in-ring capabilities and promos.

Elias and Rollins have met each other for the title and have feuded in the past. Their chemistry in the ring is good whenever they have been together and a reignited feud will surely help take Elias' career a long way forward.

#4 Jinder Mahal

The past one year has been a roller-coaster ride in the career of Jinder Mahal. He has done everything, from being a jobber to becoming a world champion all of a sudden and again back as a mid-carder on the Raw roster.

Yes, he has shown some tremendous improvements in him right from his physique to his in-ring skills. But the problem was that the WWE Universe was not ready to accept him as the champion.

If there is one person who can put over any Superstar in the roster at the moment, it has to be Seth 'Freaking' Rollins. Jinder can get a heel reaction straight away from the Universe if he is able to take the IC title away from Seth.

#5 Finn Balor

Finn Balor at the moment has no direction going ahead. He has been involved in a pointless and extended feud with the interim general manager Baron Corbin.WWE should look to turn him heel immediately and engage him in a high profile feud with The Architect for the Intercontinental title. They have met each other in the past but have not been involved in a full-fledged feud. This face-off could end up as a feud of the year candidate if the storyline is proper.
