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

#5 Roman Reigns

He's not a good champ, he's not a bad champ, he's the champ!

Here comes The Big Dog! You all may be thinking about how Roman Reigns is out of action right now, and when he does return, he will straight away be involved in the main event scene. But what if WWE went a different route?

Remember when Daniel Bryan defied the odds to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania XXX? He relinquished the title and then moved to the mid-card, winning the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 31. Reigns has had a similar fate too, with him relinquishing his Universal title in October 2018, and pulling out of WrestleMania 36 match due to health issues, for no fault of his own.

So, do not be surprised if The Big Dog enters the Intercontinental title picture upon his return. With the consensus that things will be back to normal by the time SummerSlam comes around, expect the Big Dog to make a surprise return and defeat Sami Zayn to become the new Intercontinental Champion. The two men can feud throughout the summer, with The Usos and The Artist Collective being added to the mix as well.

Reigns could drop the title possibly at the next year's Royal Rumble event, before moving up to the main event scene. With the Big Dog as champion, WWE will surely pull out big rivalries and open challenges to build Reigns' credibility, which will also benefit the title.

A win-win situation for involved, except Sami Zayn.
