The flag bearers of the Modern era

The start of this era was marked by The Miz's Intercontinental Championship victory over Zack Ryder on the night after WrestleMania 32. What followed was one of the most memorable reigns with the title, with Miz's verbal altercation with Daniel Bryan on an edition of Talking Smack making The Miz and the hottest prospect in WWE. His feuds with Dolph Ziggler and Roman Reigns were main-event caliber and did a lot to restore the title's credibility.

The title moved over to RAW in the 2017 Superstar Shake-up, and with the red brand's World Champion Brock Lesnar being absent for long durations, this title was featured extensively and was named the Workhorse Championship. Following The Miz's iconic reign, the mantle of keeping the title relevant fell on the able shoulders of Seth Rollins, whose feuds with Elias and Dolph Ziggler led to the title main eventing a PPV for the first time since Backlash 2001.

With The Artist Collective now in possession of the title, will the group be able to restore the title's prestige? Be sure to voice your opinion in the comments box!
