5 challengers for Apollo Crews' WWE Intercontinental Title

#4. Bronson Reed becomes Roman Reigns' ally after beating Apollo Crews

Missing an intercontinental champ *coughs*

'The Colossal' Bronson Reed is yet to make his official main roster debut on either RAW or Smackdown, but he should do so by going after Apollo Crews. Obviously, he's made a main roster debut on WWE Main Event, but that doesn't really count.

The former NXT North American Champion should enter straight into the mid-card or even main event picture when he debuts, and it certainly looks like SmackDown could do with more star power.

Plus, Reed has already highlighted that he'd be interested in joining forces with Roman Reigns and The Usos while being the Intercontinental Champion.

#3. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler work together to get the title from Apollo Crews

I know WWE is lacking in tag teams, but does anyone else wish Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode would break up, just so we can bring back “Glorious Domination?”#Smackdown pic.twitter.com/WPJ12LwoD7

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode were also involved in the brawl over Apollo Crews' title that took place on this week's SmackDown, which is interesting as they're both currently tag team wrestlers.

However, with The Usos and the Mysterios monopolizing the SmackDown tag team division, it makes sense that both men would work together to chase after singles gold instead.

The problem is that they're both heels and Apollo Crews is also a heel, so it might not be the best feud for WWE to pursue. Out of the two, though, Robert Roode could probably use a title run more than Ziggler!
