#2 The rematch

Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman

Last week, Braun Strowman won the Intercontinental Championship - marking the first time he's won a singles title in over four years in WWE. It's crazy to think that at one point, he was believed to be the next top Universal Champion.

Unfortunately, it never worked out for him due to WWE wanting to keep Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar on top of the card. His only other Championship success came with the RAW Tag Team titles - where he had two brief and fairly meaningless reigns with Nicholas and Seth Rollins.

An Intercontinental Championship win seemed inevitable and Strowman was the right person to beat Shinsuke Nakamura. He can help take the title (and himself) to a new level, but it all depends on how WWE handles his reign.

If it's anything like Nakamura's reign as Intercontinental Champion, then there isn't much to be excited about. Either way, it was made clear on SmackDown that the two will have an Intercontinental Championship rematch - with Nakamura maybe even standing tall at the end.
