10 Huge Mistakes WWE Has Made Building Up To WrestleMania 32
7. The Intercontinental Championship Cluster Of Stupidity
Oh lord, where to begin?
Kevin Owens regaining the Intercontinental Championship ahead of Fastlane opened up a plethora of options for WWE to pursue, with singles feuds between Owens and AJ Styles or Sami Zayn speculated. The latter would especially make for a must-see attraction given their top quality matches around the world and unfinished business in NXT.
What appeared to be the alternative of a Fatal Four-Way between Owens, Zayn, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz was also acceptable given each performer’s individual track record. Considering their frequent interactions in the past month, the match made total sense.
Instead, WWE is replicating the seven-man Intercontinental Title Ladder Match from WrestleMania 31 - not the worst idea - by inexplicably throwing Stardust, Sin Cara and Zack Ryder into the mix - the worst idea - diluting the potential for meaningful altercations between the initial quartet.
If the match doesn't turn out to be memorable, WWE is in for some serious backlash for ruining what could have been a show-stealing contest.
