Current Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura returned to action about a month ago and defeated Finn Balor at Extreme Rules to take home his second main roster championship.

While his initial run with the United States Championship was not too impressive, fans are hoping that he will defend the title more and make its value increase by being a good champion.

Not only is Ali a great performer, but he deserves to have gold around his waist for the services he has done to the company on the main roster. Ali seems to be a great option to be crowned the next Intercontinental Champion.


#4 SmackDown Women’s Championship - Charlotte Flair

Current Champion: Bayley

Bayley surprised everyone at Money in the Bank by climbing the ladder and taking home the Money in the Bank contract. While most would have expected her night to end right there, she surprised even more fans by returning later in the night and pinning Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Championship only minutes after she won the same title from Becky Lynch.

Now that Charlotte is back in action and rolling over opponents, we can expect her to rise to the championship picture once again. She defeated Trish Stratus at SummerSlam followed by Bayley's SummerSlam opponent Ember Moon a couple of nights later.

With SmackDown moving to Fox soon, WWE will want its top stars to hold the titles to give Fox and added benefit and advantage in marketing the product. Handing the championship to Charlotte would prove to be the right move for the company.

Not only is Charlotte one of the most gifted and talented performers in the women's roster, but she also has the fame and star power to fill more seats in the arena.
