Can you believe that Bray Wyatt has been in the WWE for close to eight years, and never won a singles championship? Despite mixing with the likes of Randy Orton, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, CM Punk and Dean Ambrose, the WWE have never trusted Bray with singles gold.

Wyatt only won his first piece of silver recently, in the form of the SmackDown Tag Team championships. Even with the ample amounts of time, the WWE hierarchy has turned their nose up on Wyatt, he's still managed to stay well-liked by the fans.

As a face or a heel, Bray is over with the fans and it's time for the 29-year old to claim the Intercontinental Championship. As a main event superstar, Wyatt is the exact type of name needed to continue to elevate the title.
