Roman Reigns Vs. Andrade is another 'never before seen' feud that could work very well on SmackDown Live, especially for the Intercontinental Championship.

In spite of being one of the most versatile performers between the ropes, WWE really has not done very much to keep the audience's invested in Andrade. There's no denying that the guy can run circles around his opposition on any given night, in any given arena. However, his athleticism alone cannot elevate his credibility moving forward.

Therefore, if the company is indeed serious in turning him into the future of this business, they certainly have to give him some legitimate opportunities.

Feuding against a guy like Roman Reigns could give Andrade the right amount of spotlight and would only propel his chances of wearing some gold around his waist.


#3 Kevin Owens Vs. Buddy Murphy

As incredibly underrated as Kevin Owens is, the man legitimately deserves to be pushed as the biggest face in the company.

His recent face turn has rejuvenated his direction within WWE, and with Vince McMahon wanting to go the distance with his current face run, the Prizefighter could be destined for big things.

Considering that the former Universal Champion will be slugging it out to become the next 'King of the Ring', a possible feud with Buddy Murphy in the latter stages of the year could be sensational.

Owens has openly spoken out on the company's reluctance towards pushing new stars, with Buddy Murphy being one of them, and if provided with the right booking, the two could come out looking like a million bucks.

The in-ring performances are bound to be exceptional, with Murphy already proving his mettle on the main roster in a classic with Roman Reigns.

Owens Vs. Murphy for the Intercontinental Championship is everything that the blue brand needs heading into Fox Sports and it is everything that would make the I.C. Championship great again.
