1. The Eventual Return Of Sami Zayn

If we're talking about 'can't miss' situations, putting the Intercontinental title on Kevin Owens presents one of the largest that WWE will have been in for years; the eventual main roster return of Sami Zayn. Zayn has already competed on the main roster a couple of times, but he's bound to become a permanent member once he's fit and ready.

The history of Owens and Zayn is well-documented, and is without doubt one of the largest rivalries in modern professional wrestling. Their fates are seemingly destined to be intertwined, so why not make both men true stars together on the biggest stage of them all? 

If you'll allow me to venture into fantasy booking for a moment, Owens should take the strap from Ryback and hold it until WrestleMania season. He'll feud with a number of faces, surviving each challenge until it seems there are no new challengers for him. Then you bring in Sami Zayn. 

You have a big match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania, you have two major stars and the rehabilitation of the title itself comes to its natural conclusion.
