#5 Intercontinental title

Both guys need a legitimising win

WWE fans that claim to understand the product could probably have predicted this match last year.

Dean Ambrose remains a popular babyface but has not reached the next level through lack of opportunity or ability or whatever, and Baron Corbin stuck it out as the arrogant heel that the brass loves because he is tall.

For all the multi-person matches on the card, this match could actually use more pieces to benefit both guys. Corbin needs to be shown as physically impressive because fans have not bought into anything else about his character, while Ambrose could also use a more dominant showing to demonstrate some cunningness and ingenuity in his style.

Yes, Ambrose is erratic by design but if he is ever going to be taken seriously as a long-term Champion, this match has to go in his favour.

I think Ambrose will retain, mainly because the rest of the card seems heel-heavy for WrestleMania standards, although Corbin definitely has a reasonable chance of walking out as IC champ.
