9 Quick Fixes That Would Have Improved WWE Battleground 2016

3. Darren Young Wins The IC Title

If WWE was serious about "making Darren Young great again", then giving him the IC Title would've been a perfect way to do it, and capitalise on the fact that the crowd are clearly getting behind him, going by the huge pop he got on Smackdown when he applied the Crossface Chickenwing to The Miz.

Instead, we got a mediocre match made terrible by a horrendously nonsensical finish, which while at least protecting Young by not having him lose, felt like a massively missed opportunity given the momentum he had coming in from Smackdown.

The Miz is a fairly dull Intercontinental Champ, whereas at least Young would've been something different, and he deserves to have a chance to prove himself with a mid-tier title.
