There just doesn't seem to be any kind of buzz at all for the Intercontinental Championship picture at this particular point in time. Nakamura and Ali had a good match and the former went over, which was a pretty good showing, in my opinion. He needed this win to be seen as a champion who deserves to be taken seriously.
But it just does not feel as prestigious as when Miz or Rollins were champion in my opinion at least. Maybe including someone like Aleister Black into the mix will make the title picture exciting again for the fans.

Of course, I could be alone in thinking this, so feel free to correct me in the comments section right below. Do you think that the Intercontinental Championship is as prestigious as it used to be?
Maybe the title scenario needs to be blessed by a certain WWE Goddess.
