So, now we just found out that, coming off his second big win at a WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan is injured and unable to compete, thus once again vacating the championship he just won at the big event. Two years in a row. Wow. Talk about bad luck, right? Well, maybe not so much. I feel bad for the guy, but it's not as if he randomly had a shoulder/neck injury pop up out of nowhere. I digress. Now, once again, WWE has to find someone to hold the title.
Now, when Bryan won the IC belt, I have to admit, I thought he was the best choice to help bring back the prestige that it once had. Now that he's back on the shelf, that all gets tossed out the window, so to speak. Or does it? Surely there's another superstar who can do it, right? That's what I want to ask you guys. Looking at the roster right now, who do you think stands the best chance of being booked properly as the Intercontinental champion? Who do you want to see as the next champion and why?
For me, I'm going to pick Sheamus. The way he's being booked now, plus the feud he has going on with Ziggler could be the best possible launch for his reign. I would hold a mini-tournament with the matches that are already set up this Sunday at Payback between Sheamus vs. Ziggler and Neville vs. King Barrett. Have Sheamus beat Dolph(by cheating a little) and Neville go over Barrett, then Sheamus beats Neville to really get some heat going. Then continue his feud with Ziggler, only have the IC belt added to the mix. Then, since I keep hearing WWE wants to re-visit Sheamus vs. Bryan, why not have him hold on to the belt until Bryan is healthy(if it doesn't take too long) and let them feud over it? Since he's one of HHH's boys I'm not too concerned about how he would be booked as champion.
So, those are my two cents. What are your thoughts? Would there be someone who would be better as champion, in your opinion?
