5 WWE Superstars who could defeat Sami Zayn to become the Intercontinental Champion

#3 Big E

Big E is a former Intercontinental champion.....

I can say for sure that the E in Big E stands for entertainment. Just look at his career trajectory -- from being the monster who held the NXT and Intercontinental Championships, to becoming a comic character that the fans love, he has always been entertaining. Big E is a future Hall of Famer, but he hasn't reached his full potential yet in the singles division. Kofi Kingston's run as the WWE Champion has proved that the stable can be involved in the singles division and it's time for Big E to go solo. Also, New Day has been a staple of SmackDown's tag team division for more than two years now, and them moving over to the singles division will be a nice change for the trio, allowing other teams to be involved in the tag team division.

Big E vs Sami Zayn will be as unorthodox as a rivalry can be, with the heel being the underdog this time around. The Artist Collective can play to the numbers advantage a few times to help Zayn retain the title. A returning Xavier Woods could even the playing field, leading to E winning his second Intercontinental Championship.
