#5 Wade Barrett – Raw 2015
Wade Barrett seemed to be cursed when it came to the IC title because every single time he held it, the Englishman seemed to suffer as a result. An example of how one of these reigns started came in 2015 when Barrett defeated Dolph Ziggler in a two-out-of-three falls match (a stipulation added by Corporate Kane) to become the champion.
Not only was a giant throwaway for storyline purposes, but it also made a mockery of yet another Ziggler title reign. The belt fell into a hot potato sort of routine, with the defeat marking the third time that good old Ziggles had lost the title in a span of just under four months. Embarrassing would be a dramatic understatement.
