Since WWE decided to put the Universal Championship back around the part-time waist of Brock Lesnar, the holder of the Intercontinental Championship has been the featured singles champ of Raw.

The workhorse nature of the title was reinvigorated once it was the main title for the superstars of Raw to battle over with Lesnar never around.

Superstars like The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins and now Finn Balor have done well to keep the title at the forefront of the WWE, unlike the US Title.

The matches for it were among the best of the year, especially during Rollins' reign as champion. It harkened back to the days when Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon and Bret Hart all battle for the title.

Once a full-time champion returns to hold the Universal Championship, the IC Title might get pushed down the card a bit since those who battled over the IC Title will be gunning for the big red belt.

It will actually help the brand from top to bottom as up and comers like Aleister Black and Ricochet can gun for the Intercontinental Championship first while current main-eventers like Rollins, Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre can fight for the Universal Championship.

That won't mean that the work rate nature of the title should change as long as someone like Balor holds the title.
