It's no secret that Daniel Bryan has struggled with injuries since his crowning moment at WrestleMania 30, and is currently said to have been pulled from WWE programming until at least the middle of June. It seems an unfortunate theme that the beloved babyface is often struck by injuries at the most unfortunate of times - usually after a big win or at the beginning of a major push - and the current situation is no exception. Having won the Intercontinental Championship in a brutally contested ladder match at last month's 'Mania, Bryan faces a lay-off while continuing to battle his recurring neck injuries. Initially scheduled for a title defence against Bad News Barrett at Extreme Rules, he was pulled from the show, and has seen very limited action in the week since. The WWE would be wise to deal with the situation carefully, and ensure that Bryan has the proper time to recover before throwing him back into the fray. A sensible decision would be to shift the Intercontinental Championship to one of many potential candidates as soon as possible, either in a fairly safe match or by vacating the title and holding a small tournament to find the new champ. Fortunately, the midcard is currently littered with ideal Intercontinental Champions, be they fallen superstars in need of a momentum boost, up-and-comers who could do with the legitimacy a championship brings, or under-appreciated internet darlings with all the tools needed were an opportunity given to them. Here are ten of the most suitable candidates to succeed Daniel Bryan as Intercontinental Champion. Hopefully we see one of these stars with the gold sooner rather than later.
