Top 5 WWE superstars with the most Intercontinental Title reigns

The
The Miz - perennial holder of the IC Championship

#4 Jeff Jarrett (6 reigns, 290 cumulative days)

Jeff Jarrett - Intercontinental Champion was his highest accolade in WWE

Jeff Jarrett won the Intercontinental title three times in 1995 engaging in memorable feuds and matches with Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels.

In his next run in the company, Jarrett had headliner aspirations and had a supporter on the writing team in his good friend, Vince Russo.

Jarrett was a more serious character when he won the IC strap for a fourth time on May 31, 1995. This win was a tribute to Owen Hart who had died in a tragic accident at the Over The Edge pay-per-view days earlier.

He lost and regained the title to up and coming superstar Edge before he dropped the strap to D'lo Brown.

However, the main event push never occurred. Holding a grudge with Jarrett dating back a decade and believing he lacked the tools to be a credible headliner, WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin nixed a potential feud between the two.

Jarrett was forced to return to the IC ranks where he won a sixth and final title from D'lo Brown at Summerslam before he lost the title on his last night in the company to Chyna, as he followed Russo out of the WWF to WCW, where he achieved his headliner aspirations.
