#3 Feud with Finn Balor for the Intercontinental Championship

The Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor has struggled to find new opponents ever since he moved to SmackDown Live. His feud with Andrade had a lot of potential but WWE seems to have given up on that rivalry as the Mexican superstar is now Apollo Crews' rival. This has left Finn Balor without any opponent.

With the likes of Randy Orton, Ali, and Buddy Murphy available on SmackDown, it is surprising that WWE has not booked an Intercontinental Championship feud. Perhaps they may have plans for Rusev in this direction since Finn Balor and Rusev have never crossed paths with each other thus far.

Their only battle took place in a fatal 4-way match which even featured Cesaro and Kevin Owens on the first RAW episode of the New Era. The Bulgarian Brute knows how to play a heel character on TV and so, he can have a solid feud with a superstar as popular as Finn Balor.
