10 WWE Stars Who Saved The Intercontinental Title
7. Razor Ramon
Shawn Michaels was a great Intercontinental Champion, but his mistakes got the better of him. In September of 1993, Michaels was suspended from the company after a failed drug test and contract dispute and stripped of the title.
Razor Ramon won a battle royal to claim the vacant belt, but fans knew that Michaels didn't actually lose the title. When HBK returned in November, he still had his own physical copy of the Intercontinental Title, and he added fuel to the fire by claiming to be the real champion.
The two finally collided at WrestleMania X, with Ramon winning the ladder match and becoming undisputed champion. That bout, like Savage-Steamboat and Hart-Smith, is considered one of the best in WWE history.
Ramon would lose the title to Diesel shortly after WrestleMania, but it wasn't the end of his time with Intercontinental Championship. He'd eventually become the first man to win the belt three times and the first to win it four times, becoming synonymous with the Intercontinental Title.
