Ranking The Last 10 WWE Intercontinental Champions From Worst To Best

6. Braun Strowman

There's something enchanting about Braun Strowman's attitude. The big guy is just so...happy to work for WWE, and he'll fill any role they want. That, unfortunately, has turned him into a modern-day Big Show, and such willingness to play the class clown has ruined all that menace Braun once had as a monster.

Somehow, in spite of that, his month-long IC reign almost cracks the upper half here.

That's down to his uniqueness as a character; rather than pasting the belt around the waists of wrestlers like Finn Bálor or Shinsuke Nakamura (that fans would deem "workhorses") and expecting that to be enough, WWE tried something genuinely different with Strowman. He was like some oversized kid who couldn't hide his joy upon winning the thing.

WWE are surely setting up another Braun celebration at 'Mania 36. That's a perfectly acceptable story, and it'll be even better if Strowman then spins off into a meaningful feud against another group of credible heels. Short reigns aren't a problem if there's some clear purpose to their brevity.
