#4 Apollo Crews asks for his rematch against Shinsuke Nakamura

The WWE Universe has been loving the chemistry between Shinsuke Nakamura and Apollo Crews. The two had an amazing match tonight on Friday Night SmackDown that ended with Nakamura becoming the new Intercontinental Champion.

It is highly likely that Crews will demand a rematch, possibly at SummerSlam later this month. As interesting as their rivalry has been, WWE should be careful to not have the title change hands very frequently. The Japanese superstar should retain his championship at SummerSlam if he faces Crews.


#3 Sami Zayn gets back in the Intercontinental Championship scene

Shinsuke Nakamura's former teammate from The Artist Collective Sami Zayn could be eyeing a return to the Intercontinental title picture. The two former NXT Champions have had some incredible matches in the past and fans won't mind seeing yet another feud between the two.

Zayn lost the Intercontinental Championship to Big E last year on Christmas. He feuded with long-time rival Kevin Owens earlier this year, losing to him at WrestleMania but picking up the victory in their rematch at Hell in a Cell. He is looking for a proper feud since then and we might just see him go after Nakamura's title.
