9 WWE Superstars who defined the Intercontinental Championship in each era

#3 The Attitude Era (1997-2002) Edge and Chris Jericho

These two made the title relevant in the best era of WWE

This era was undoubtedly the best era that the company has ever seen. The Attitude Era saw many memorable moments taking place, with the rise of stars like Stone Cold Steve Austin and D-Generation X, and the introduction of the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. One can not forget about the Montreal Sc***job, and how that led to the creation of the evil character known as Mr. McMahon.

By the time this era came to an end, the Intercontinental Championship was not in existence, undergoing unification with Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship. With the Invasion storyline taking up the majority of screentime in 2001, there were even lesser chances for the title to be showcased.

But, Chris Jericho's five reigns and Edge's four reigns with the title did enough to restore the title's prestige. The most memorable moment of Y2J's reign was his feud with Chyna, with the two of them even being co-champions till Royal Rumble 2000. Edge's run as the Intercontinental Champion saw him unifying the title with the WCW United States Championship, retiring the latter at the Survivor Series 2001 PPV. These two men, through their in-ring prowess and exceptional mic skills, made the title relevant in a time when WWE's dominance over WCW was the main storyline.

With Edge making his return to the ring recently, is there a chance that he wins the title again? Be sure to voice your opinion in the comments box!
