5 Reasons Why Bobby Lashley won the Intercontinental Championship

#2 A high-profile WrestleMania match

It's likely that Lashley will walk into WrestleMania as Intercontinental Champion. For one, there's a very little chance that he's going to defend it at the Royal Rumble, primarily because he's already announced his entry to the Rumble.

There are two PPVs in between, where Lashley will most certainly have to defend it. But from the look of things, expect the new champion to hold it atleast until WrestleMania. He could be involved in a high-profile multi-man match.

#1 Seth Rollins is winning the Royal Rumble

If anything, the latest RAW seemingly cemented the possibility that Seth Rollins will win the Royal Rumble. He's clearly the favourite, and with rumours of him facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, he's now completely out of the Intercontinental title picture.

Rollins is finally going to get the big win and that's also another reason why he wasn't pinned in the match in the first place!
