3 WWE Superstars who could challenge Finn Balor for the Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank

WWE has given us a brilliant week of insane action as we witnessed one of the best 'Mania's in recent history at the MetLife Stadium, followed by a couple of decent Raw and SmackDown Live shows.

At WrestleMania 35, we got the new Intercontinental Champion in the form of The Demon, Finn Balor who defeated Bobby Lashley to end a very lackluster and all the WWE fans would have breathed a sigh of relief to see that feud end as there were no signs of Lashley wanting a rematch on Monday night.

With the Superstar Shake-up coming next week, Balor could be drafted to SmackDown Live or he could stay on the Red Brand but this list consists of possible challengers from both brands as we are not sure which brand Balor will end up being in.

So, keeping all that in mind, here are the 3 Superstars who could be possible challengers to Finn Balor' Intercontinental Championship at MITB:

---

#3 Ali

Even after being one of the most talented superstars to come out of the cruiserweight division, Ali hasn't held a title in WWE and considering his potential, he may not have to wait too long before an opportunity arrives.

If Ali and Balor end up being in the same brand, WWE should consider booking a match between these two high-flying superstars as they are capable of producing an instant classic. Even though Ali would likely end up on the losing end, it will only strengthen his connection with the WWE Universe as a babyface.

On SmackDown Live this week, Ali was hit by Randy Orton with an RKO and it looks like The Viper is set to have a feud with Ali but I wouldn't lose my hope of seeing Ali and Balor square off in an intense clash for the Intercontinental title at MITB.

#2 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn returned this week after he was sidelined due to injury, and he didn't feature at WrestleMania 35. Moreover, he turned heel this week and also got a shot at the Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor on Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania, and he expectedly lost the match.

But, there are high chances of WWE continuing with this feud as Zayn vs Balor is another dream feud for the WWE Universe. Also, Zayn is loved by the WWE Universe and him turning heel doesn't really sound like a good idea, so, pitting him against Balor in a babyface vs heel battle could see him getting some stick from the supporters.

Also, it helps Balor as a babyface as he hasn't really had great momentum behind him, and probably seeing The Demon in a great feud against Sami could help the former to get the support he once had from the WWE Universe.

#1 Kevin Owens

Another Superstar who returned from injury a couple of months ago and didn't feature at the Showcase of Immortals was Kevin Owens. To be honest, it really hurts to see Owens not being involved in a particular feud as he is a superstar of immense potential and one of the very best on the mic.

Since his return, Owens has been underbooked and he hasn't really got many reactions out of the WWE Universe, so, giving him a match against the Intercontinental Champion makes sense as that could see Owens get some kind of pop and maybe just maybe see him return to his old self.

After that triple threat match for the WWE Championship at Fastlane, Owens has been involved in meaningless matches and WWE hasn't really known what to do with him, so, after the Superstar Shake-up, if Owens and Balor end up being in the same brand, WWE should give this match a green light as these two talented superstars have the capability to produce a match of the year candidate.
