3 Merits and 2 demerits of Intercontinental Championship open challenge

#4) Demerit: Roman wins... AGAIN!

Reigns has defeaed Cena, Undertaker, Triple H in a span of 18 months.

Reigns' push has massively angered the WWE Universe due to one major reason, his underdog yet superhuman booking. Reigns has been potrayed as an underdog, yet he somehow defeats everyone in his path to success. This has been a major failure by WWE as it is reminiscent of Cena's late 2000s run.

Reigns went over two years in WWE without eating a pin, and till date he is rarely pinned clean. In 2017, Braun Strowman is the only superstar who can claim of defeating Reigns clean in a match, which speaks volumes about how Reigns is treated on the main roster.

The Intercontinental Championship matches are bound to be great, but all are most likely going to end the same way. The underdog a.k.a Big Dog overcoming all odds and spearing his way to victory.
