#1 Roman Reigns wins the Intercontinental Championship

WWE recently announced a huge title match, as Roman Reigns will take on the Intercontinental Champion Nakamura. Last week, the SmackDown Women's Championship changed hands on the show, and the WWE Universe could see another title change this week.

Reigns had a spectacular rivalry with Erick Rowan, who defeated 'The Big Dog' at Clash of Champions. The rivalry is certainly over, as Rowan was drafted to RAW, and Luke Harper is currently a free agent. Given the fact that Reigns is set to face Nakamura, this could be the beginnings of a brand new feud.

With the help of Sami Zayn, Nakamura has been a great Intercontinental Champion. However, the 'King of Strong Style' is yet to face anyone like Roman Reigns, who is one of the most capable performers in WWE.

This is the first title opportunity for Reigns since his return to the squared circle. 'The Big Dog' will attempt to win the Intercontinental Championship for the second time in his carer. It the match turns out to be fair, Reigns has a good chance of coming home with the gold. A Roman Reigns Intercontinental Championship run would elevate the title's importance.
