5 Superstars who could dethrone Finn Balor for the Intercontinental Championship

#1 Lars Sullivan

Sullivan.

And last but definitely not least, we have none other than SmackDown's next biggest monster in Lars Sullivan.

On the post-WrestleMania 35 edition of Raw, we finally saw Lars Sullivan debut as he had brutally attacked Olympic Gold Medalist in Kurt Angle. It was a moment that had not only annoyed the WWE Universe but also increased the credibility of Sullivan.

The following night on SmackDown Live, we then saw Sullivan take out The Hardy Boyz before the monster had brutally attacked Rey Mysterio and R-Truth the week after that on the April 15th and 16th episode of Raw and SmackDown respectively.

It's clear that Sullivan is being pushed heavily, and why wouldn't he be? Vince McMahon has always loved the big superstars, and Sullivan definitely fits his criteria of what it takes to be a star.

It was also rumored that Sullivan would be taking on John Cena at WrestleMania 35, but this plan clearly didn't come into fruition. This makes me believe that Sullivan will be the next Intercontinental Champion.

Sullivan is a superstar that needs to be booked strongly from the get-go, and winning championship gold will cement his status on the SmackDown Live roster. The fact that he has destroyed the likes of Angle and The Hardy Boyz suggested that he will be a very big player on the blue brand, which is why he is the perfect foil to defeat Finn Balor for the Intercontinental title.
