#2 Shinsuke Nakamura
It's ludicrous to think that a star of Shinsuke Nakamura's caliber is being considered an underdog heading into the match. Yet, that will precisely be the case when he defends his coveted Intercontinental Championship against one of the greatest IC Champions of all time, The Miz.
There are two major reasons why we're touting Nakamura as the underdog heading into this event. The first reason is that The Miz is an eight-time IC Champion. The Awesome One single-handedly restored prestige to the IC title, hence WWE would want to put the title back on him at a time when the IC title is nearing irrelevance and losing its prestige. Secondly, a WWE Draft is rumored and an advertisement might have spoiled the outcome of this match. The Miz is featured in an advertisement promoting SmackDown's move to Fox. WWE has tried to keep the IC title on SD Live since the last draft, so The Miz could move to the blue brand with his newly won championship.
However, The King of Strong Style can never be undermined. With Sami Zayn firmly in his corner, The champion has an added advantage heading into the match. The Artist is incredibly talented in the ring and will definitely give us a nice dose of his artistry at the upcoming pay-per-view.
