5 potential opponents for WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E

#1 Jey Uso

2020 has been a great year for Jey Uso in WWE. The star has become a focal part of SmackDown due to his involvement in the return angle of his cousin, Roman Reigns as a heel. Jey Uso is doing some of his best work in quite some time, currently on SmackDown.

Big E is currently one of the biggest babyfaces in WWE. Despite becoming a champion, Big E is still one of the top favorites to win the upcoming Royal Rumble on SkyBet.

Fans have been eager to see Big E face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, and a possible lead into this rivalry could be to start a feud between Big E and Jey Uso. If Big E lost the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Uso, there would be a huge possibility of this loss being at the hands of Roman Reigns, who is controlling Jey Uso on SmackDown.

Even if Big E manages to keep the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a feud against Jey Uso, it could still lead to the Big E versus Roman Reigns feud that a lot of WWE fans appear eager to see down the line.

As well as this, Big E and Jey Uso have competed against each other multiple times in tag team action, and it would be exciting to see how their in-ring dynamic has changed now that they are singles stars, and now that Jey Uso is portraying a different persona in WWE.
