When Seth Rollins and Finn Balor put on an outstanding performance on RAW this week, The Miz was on commentary and alluded to the fact that things would only get better at WrestleMania with him thrown into the mix too. The WWE Universe will be watching intently how the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania unfolds.
Before the match can indeed take place, we thought we'd give you a preview of how it may play out. In this article, we explore 5 ways this match could come to a fitting conclusion. We invite you to leave a comment of your own as well.
Be creative if need be. The objective is to have fun before this amazing WrestleMania match takes place, this very weekend.
That said, here are 5 potential finishes for the big Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania.
Honorable mention: The Miz wins clean
The Miz is one of the more prolific performers in the current WWE roster. Why we've listed this possibility as an 'honorable mention' is not a slight on The Miz, but a homage to just how well he plays his character. The Miz is a 'cowardly heel'. He will always try something underhanded to get the job done.
Yes, there's always a possibility that he will win the match without any underhanded tactics. We deem it more likely that if he does win, it'll be with a roll-up or with his foot on the ropes. Maybe Balor and Rollins take each other out, and The Miz sneaks in to pick up the win.
However, we believe it's time for a new champion and therefore, this is just an honorable mention for now. Let's move on to the other possibilities.
#5 The Miztourage turns on The Miz, Finn Balor wins
Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel have been by The Miz's side as his allies for a long time now. WWE may want the band to split up, and for The Miz to head in a wholly new direction. We saw a glimpse of the same, when Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel threatened mutiny on RAW very recently. Of course, it was only a ploy to catch Balor and Rollins completely off guard.
We believe there's a possibility that The Miz pushes them so far off the edge during this match, that they actually revolt against him. In doing so, Finn Balor could become the Champion. After all, his only previous championship reign lasted a day.
This angle could lead to a program between The Miz and The Miztourage after WrestleMania 34. While it would not be the most exciting feud, it would be a step up for Dallas and Axel.
#4 The Miztourage turns on The Miz, Seth Rollins wins
Here is another possibility, much like the one we've listed on the last page. What if The Miztourage were to turn on The Miz, allowing Seth Rollins to become Champion? This would lead to a series of matches between The Miz and Seth Rollins, after WrestleMania. And nobody would really mind that.
Here's why The Miztourage's turn makes so much sense. WrestleMania is all about moments. If the face turn does happen at WrestleMania, Dallas and Axel would have created a WrestleMania moment to cherish forevermore.
Who can deny that Seth Rollins would be a great Intercontinental Champion? Why...he's the definition of a workhorse!
#3 The Miztourage helps The Miz win
And maybe nothing will change! Maybe, just like always, The Miztourage will assist The Miz in picking up a victory and taking the Intercontinental Championship to new heights after WrestleMania. Few can doubt that he's been a great Champion. He makes every program that he is in, 'awesome'!
Dallas and Axel could earn their paycheck by distracting the referee while The Miz hits his opponents with the Championship belt or even a steel chair. It will be an outcome we've seen a million times in the past already.
#2 Finn Balor wins clean
Few can doubt that it's Finn Balor's time to hold some gold. Seth Rollins will always be in the mix at the top, because he is a key player. The Miz can turn the worst of programs into pure gold. If there's anyone who needs the Intercontinental Championship, it is Balor.
We wonder if the 'Demon King' will make an appearance. The last time we saw that avatar was when Balor took on AJ Styles. Imagine how cool The Demon will look on the WrestleMania stage.
If The Demon does come forth, there's no way he can lose. The Demon has been a highly protected gimmick!
#1 Seth Rollins wins clean
Not long ago, Seth Rollins was on top of the world. He was the heel champion for the Authority, and the most important guy in the company. And then he suffered an injury and was never the same again. His next title reign lasted mere minutes after Dean Ambrose cashed in.
Rollins has always been in the mix as a Tag Team competitor. Of late, beginning with the Gauntlet match on RAW, we've seen how Rollins has been booked to look super strong. Could this be his time?
There's no better way to have the Intercontinental Championship mean something, than to have Rollins hold it. He would make a brilliant title representative.
