Dean Ambrose is currently one of the most hated heels in WWE. He is currently the WWE Intercontinental Champion and has been playing the role of a heel pretty well ever since he betrayed his former Shield-brother Seth Rollins.

He has held the WWE Intercontinental Championship two times before, and both of his reigns as IC champ were pretty decent. His feuds with Kevin Owens and the Miz for the Intercontinental Championship are counted in some of the best feuds in the Intercontinental Championship's history.

Recently, Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins to end Seth's second Intercontinental championship title reign, and Ambrose held the honor of winning the Intercontinental championship for the third time in his WWE career.

Keeping Dean Ambrose's last two IC title reigns in mind, there is no doubt that Ambrose's third reign with the IC title will be a delight to watch.

Now the big question arises, who will finally take the title from Ambrose when the time comes?


#3. Former IC Champion Seth Rollins

"The Architect" Seth Rollins is first in line for the shot at the Intercontinental Championship, as Rollins has yet to invoke his rematch clause against Dean Ambrose. He has been the workhorse for WWE in 2018 and won IC title twice in 2018.

After losing the title to Dean Ambrose at TLC 2018, there is a big possibility that WWE officials might put the title back on Seth Rollins in their rematch in order to stretch their rivalry until Wrestlemania 35.

There is also a big possibility that WWE officials might allow Seth Rollins to win their rematch, as the rumors were circulating that after their first match at TLC, Vince McMahon was not happy with the reaction that their match got.

Keeping all this mind, there is a big possibility that Rollins might be the one to dethrone Dean Ambrose.

#2.Finn Balor

It's no secret that Finn Balor deserved to hold the title a long time ago. The inaugural WWE Universal Champion is currently one of the most underutilized guys in the whole WWE.

But having the McMahon family's recent promises in mind, it seems to be a big possibility that things might change for the leader of "Balor Club."

Recently, Finn Balor successfully picked up a big win against "The Chosen One" Drew McIntyre, proving that WWE has started to listen to WWE Universe, and his recent big win against Drew McIntyre serves as a signal that Finn Balor might be in line for a big push, and what better push then to hold the prestigious Intercontinental Championship?

Finn Balor, being a big fan favorite babyface, is one of the most perfect guys on the Raw roster to defeat a hated heel like Dean Ambrose.

#1. "The Drifter" Elias

Elias as Intercontinental champion is something that many wrestling fans want to see. He is currently one of the top WWE superstars in the whole company.

Many wrestling fans believe that he is currently one of the most entertaining wrestlers in the whole world, as he is fantastic in both promo work as well as in-ring athleticism.

Having a fan favorite babyface like Elias dethrone a heel like Dean Ambrose is surely something that could increase WWE ratings.

Rumors were also suggesting that Elias was the one that WWE officials had in mind to win the Intercontinental Championship after Summerslam 2018, but plans were changed due to leukemia revelation of Roman Reigns.

But this past week, WWE officials promised the WWE Universe to give them want they want, and it's no secret that WWE Universe wants Elias to hold a championship in WWE as soon as possible.

Seeing Elias' current push as a babyface by WWE officials, it might be just a matter of time before Elias finally challenges Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship and beats him to become the next Intercontinental Champion of WWE.
