5 Potential challengers for Apollo Crews' WWE Intercontinental Championship

#2 Kevin Owens could target Apollo Crews and aim to regain the WWE IC Title

WWE could also run back Kevin Owens vs. Apollo Crews with the former once again targeting the Intercontinental belt

Kevin Owens and Apollo Crews were both victorious at WrestleMania 37. With Owens beating Sami Zayn in another classic between the two, the former WWE Universal Champion would surely get the chance to call a few shots.

A former WWE Intercontinental Champion himself, Owens could shift his focus on the title that he once held in WWE. Despite Apollo Crews being at the absolute top of his game right now, he would definitely feel a bit insecure with The Prizefighter chasing his Intercontinental Title.

Crews and Owens could go well together inside the ring. Given the fact that the latter likes to fight against adversity, WWE could fit Commander Azeez right into the mix of a feud featuring Crews and Owens.

A feud between the two is sure to give us a lot of incredible matches and the feud can be extended well past the Backlash PPV.
