1. Intercontinental Champions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIQ6fB3NEGA With the old WCW strap being recently combined with the WWE Championship so that we have one clear World Heavyweight Champion, it brings relevance back to the Intercontinental Championship and the division we can suppose Sandow will be wrestling in for the foreseeable future. Add to it that the U.S. Championship is falling out of relevance, and it could create an opportunity for a feud with an importance almost as equal to any card's Main Event, just like when Rick Rude fought the Ultimate Warrior for it back at WrestleMania 5. We can imagine here, with better booking, a fight of so-called "B players" like Roman Reigns and Antonio Cesaro vs. Damien Sandow in a winner-takes-all Intercontinental Championship match that sets the stage for PPV Main Events. Even during the '90s, this division and this title helped pave the way for the New Generation. There's no reason booking can't find a way to bring our Intellectual Savior into the fold.
"Ravishing" Rick Rude never got to battle with Hogan after his triumphant feud with the Ultimate Warrior in the late-80s. Instead, we were saddened to watch Earthquake sitting on Hulk Hogan's ribs in a bout that nobody really remembers wouldn't it have been better if Rude would have been booked to be leg-dropped by the Hulkster, and shown how to act like a Real American? Rick Rude had already proved himself a "top heel", yet the WWE would not recognize him as such and let him walk from the company in favor of Ted Turner's promotion, where he would go on to win the top strap with epic feuds involving Lex Luger, Sting, and Ric Flair. Right now, we have a proven top-level guy in Damien Sandow without any real feuds. He had that one crack at the title against John Cena last October, which turned into a stellar match on Monday Night RAW that had fans on the edge of their seats: And in an era with quiet heroes rising to the top like Daniel Bryan, there needs to be a loud villain to join in juxtaposition, and there is no villain louder than Damien Sandow. You're Welcome.
