5 Superstars who should have accepted Seth Rollins' Intercontinental Championship open challenge on Raw

#4 Roderick Strong

Roderick Strong could have been the hometown hero on Raw

It's a far-out choice, but Roderick Strong is actually from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and would have definitely woken up the crowd in his hometown if he was the star chosen to walk through the curtain and battle Seth Rollins for the IC title.

Strong has easily proved his worth over and over in NXT as a part of The Undisputed Era and it's now reached the point where Bobby Fish has returned from injury so Strong is no longer needed as part of the group so it could be time for him to decide to head off and start his own legacy.

As a heel, Strong could have taken Rollins to the limit, or WWE could have called up the former Ring of Honor star as a face in his hometown, either way, the pop would have been huge.
