4. Who Will Be The Next IC Champ?
Of the four titles up for grabs Sunday, the Intercontinental Championship is the only one where we are guaranteed a new champ. The vacant title will be contested in an Elimination Chamber match, with six participants. (Rusevs involvement is still up in the air, and his potential replacement is just speculative right now. Of the six, we can rule R-Truth out immediately. King Barrett has his own gimmick that WWE needs to run with first before throwing the IC title on him a sixth time. Ryback doesnt really need the Intercontinental Championship, so we could see him eliminated. That leaves Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus and Rusev. If healthy, Rusev would do well with the IC title. Sheamus also could have a great heel run with the championship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfpY1yYHacM All of this probably means that Truth is walking out with the strap.
