5 Superstars Who Can Accept Seth Rollins' Open Challenge on RAW

After successfully defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against his former Shield brother in a steel cage match at WWE Starrcade, Seth Rollins has announced the return of the Intercontinental Championship open challenge for tonight's RAW.

The Kingslayer is set to defend the IC title against the Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose at WWE Tables, Ladders, and Chairs on 16th December, which means that the title will most likely not change hands on RAW.

But, the Architect has given an opportunity to any superstar in the locker room to step up and take the title from him.

Time to refocus heading towards Ambrose and #TLC. I learn the most by testing myself...so the #ICTitle Open Challenge returns tomorrow night on #Raw. #mondaynightrollins It’s go time.

Here are the 5 Superstars who could accept the Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge.

#5 Jinder Mahal

We have seen this match earlier on RAW

The Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Mahal has been lost in the mix on RAW. He was the WWE Champion on SmackDown Live in 2017 and had also captured the United States Championship at WrestleMania 34 before moving to RAW.

The move to Monday nights carved the way for Jinder's downfall, as he lost the US title on his first night before feuding with Roman Reigns for two months.

The Indo-Canadian superstar has not been a part of any major feud since losing to the Big Dog, Roman Reigns. He has formed a tag team with Alicia Fox and the duo compete regularly on the WWE Mixed Match Challenge.

With Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns out due to injuries, Monday Night RAW needs a solid mid-card superstar and Jinder Mahal can easily fit in that category.

He has experience with working with some of the top superstars and an IC title match with Seth Rollins would be the first step towards the re-building of Mahal's character. A good 10-15 minutes bout with the IC Champion will establish Mahal as a mid-carder on RAW.

#4 Baron Corbin

Will the Lone Wolf exploit his powers once again?

Baron Corbin has evolved as a superstar on-screen. From being a choker to becoming the Acting General Manager of RAW, Baron has certainly established himself as one of the top performers in the WWE. Corbin has won the Money in the Bank briefcase and also the United States Championship in his career.

He could definitely accept Rollins' challenge, given that he was the reason why Seth and Dean lost the RAW Tag Team Championship. While, Rollins would be cutting a promo, Baron could come out and accept his challenge.

We have seen the General Manager compete in Universal and WWE Championship matches earlier, and it will no surprise if the Lone Wolf once again tries to cheat and capture the Intercontinental Championship.

Another reason why Baron can accept the challenge is that he and Seth have never had a match in the WWE so the commentators can also hype this as a 'first time ever' match.

#3 Dolph Ziggler

The Show-Off was surprisingly absent from the last episode of RAW

Dolph Ziggler was surprisingly not present on the last episode of Monday Night RAW, which saw the trio of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntrye surgically attack Braun Strowman. The heel superstar is soon going to split from his long time partner Drew McIntyre, as the Scottish Psychopath is set to receive a huge push.

As mentioned earlier, the Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose match is confirmed for WWE TLC and so there are very few chances that the title will change hands. WWE Creative can use this open challenge as an opportunity to sow the seeds of a future break-up between Ziggler and McIntyre.

After failing to beat Rollins for the title, they can have a backstage promo between the former RAW Tag Team Champions where McIntyre would be angry at Dolph for not being able to defeat Rollins.

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor seems to be Drew McIntyre's next victim, and this match can set the path for the two Europeans' TLC match

Finn Balor has not been involved in any meaningful feud since WrestleMania 34, where he lost the triple threat match for the IC title. The first ever Universal Champion seems to be Drew McIntyre's next opponent now.

Balor can accept the open challenge of Seth Rollins, and both the talented superstars could blow the arena's roof down. After a 15-20 minute battle inside the ring, Drew McIntyre would interfere in the match to cost Balor the match and the title.

The Scottish Psychopath can destroy the Extraordinary Man who does Extraordinary Things after the match to set up their match at WWE TLC. By having Finn Balor accept the challenge, the WWE Creative team can not only give the fans a quality match on RAW but also advance a heated rivalry.

#1 Bray Wyatt

The two superstars have shared the ring earlier

The Eater of the Worlds, Bray Wyatt made his triumphant return to the ring at WWE Starrcade, where he accepted Acting General Manager Baron Corbin's open challenge. The former WWE Champion defeated the lone Wolf and will most likely be present on tonight's RAW .

Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins have shared the ring multiple times in their WWE careers and know each other very well. The WWE Creative can also pull off a shock by having Bray win the Intercontinental Championship just like Dolph Ziggler had ended Seth's reign shockingly earlier this year. This would also help the WWE establish Wyatt as one of its top superstars.
