The Intercontinental Championship is supposed to be a big deal but does not seem like it because of the way it is being booked right now. Not only was the title not featured on the SummerSlam card at all, but it did not feature on the SmackDown that followed either, quite surprisingly. One possibility is that WWE just doesn't know what to do with Shinsuke Nakamura.
But yet another possibility is that Roman Reigns is being inserted into the Intercontinental Championship picture to elevate the same, with his presence. Reigns is no slouch in the ring and can definitely go head-to-head with Nakamura. These two men could certainly make the title prestigious once again.

Nakamura doesn't even have to be the culprit that actually did it. It could well be Daniel Bryan, pushing the blame on Nakamura, who could enter the fray once again, maybe in time for Survivor Series.
