#1 Sami Zayn could defend the Intercontinental Championship against both Big E and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match at WWE TLC
WWE seems to be setting up quite the Intercontinental title picture. Daniel Bryan is continually in the mix, while Big E was introduced as a potential challenger to Sami Zayn last week. The two of them may end up challenging for the Intercontinental Championship at TLC.
Bryan, Big E, and Rey Mysterio teamed to win the Pat Patterson Tribute Match, only featuring Superstars who have won the IC title at least once. Zayn was pinned in that match by Bryan, who was thought to be out of the scene after losing by count-out to the former last week.
Anyway, Bryan and Big E could both step up together and present Zayn with a massive challenge for TLC. While the match would be excellent, it gives SmackDown's resident conspiracy theorist something new to complain about. There is a lot of storytelling potential here.
The Intercontinental Championship feels big again thanks to Sami Zayn and its prestige is set to remain no matter who wins it next. Daniel Bryan has talked at length about his vision for the IC title, while Big E is on the rise to the top of the card. A second reign with the title could do wonders for his ascent, as it would for the belt itself.
