3 Superstars who should be the next Intercontinental Champion

The Intercontinental Championship is one the most prestigious titles in WWE history. When you see a Superstar hold this title, you know he has pushed himself beyond his limits to get it. Legends like Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hitman" Hart have made the title what it is today.

The Intercontinental Champions of the New Era have brought a new life to the championship. Recent champions such as The Miz and Dolph Ziggler have restored glory to this championship.

The reigning champion, Seth Rollins continues this hot streak. Rollins is an exciting superstar and puts on great matches on a consistent basis. Seth Rollins won his first Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 34. He lost it to Dolph Ziggler then won it back at Summerslam to become a two-time Intercontinental Champion.

RAW is full of talented Superstars but some of them don't get as much recognition as others. Winning a title as important as the Intercontinental Championship could change their career for the better.

Even though Rollins is on a roll right now, somebody is going to take that title away from him eventually. So let's look at 3 current Superstars who should beat Seth Rollins and become the next WWE Intercontinental Champion!

#3 Bobby Roode

Heel Bobby Roode would be a great champion

Bobby Roode was a great heel in TNA and NXT. His early run as a face on SmackDown was decent, but now the act is getting stale. We all want to see that arrogant and confident heel rise once again. With a new attitude and that awesome theme song, Bobby Roode will find success.

Now if WWE puts the Intercontinental Championship around his waist, that could be a game changer. An IC title run can unlock Roode's main event potential and prove that he's ready for that next big step.

Beating Seth Rollins for the title would be the biggest win in his WWE career so far. This match would show off his in-ring abilities and establish him as a singles star.

If Bobby Roode ever gets his hands on the Intercontinental Championship, it would be... GLORIOUS!

#2 Bobby Lashley

It's time to revive Bobby Lashley

When it was rumored that Bobby Lashley was returning to WWE, everyone expected that Lashley would be pushed to the top. He could have had a dream match against Brock Lesnar, win the Universal Champion and become 'the guy' in WWE.

But none of that happened. Bobby claims 'he came back to dominate' but he hasn't been dominating. The only major win he had in his return was against Roman Reigns and that lead him nowhere.

That's why WWE needs to give Bobby Lashley the Intercontinental Championship. A good championship run could help revive his career. Lashley is a phenomenal athlete and his time away has helped improve his wrestling ability. And in order to win the title, he would have to win a dream match between him and Seth Rollins. Plus it looks like he has a young, energetic manager who can defend for himself in Lio Rush.

If Bobby Lashley can get a dominant run as IC champ, this could lead to bigger things for the Dominator.

#1 Finn Balor

This man is extraordinary and he deserves a title run

Balor Club was at one point the hottest thing in WWE. It so over that WWE let Balor become the inaugural Universal Champion. But it all came crashing down when he suffered an injury during the match and had to relinquish the title a day after winning it.

Ever since then, no matter how much the fans wanted it, Finn Balor never returned to the main event status.

It is clear that Finn Balor deserves better. He is one the best wrestlers in the world and has the Demon King gimmick in his back pocket. An Intercontinental Championship win can boost Balor's confidence and WWE can make one of their brightest stars happy.

A bonus to that is the continuation of the Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins rivalry. They have great chemistry in the ring and on the mic. Finn/Demon King beating Rollins in a marquee match for the Intercontinental Championship could be a big moment and the Balor Club would be reborn.
