If WWE decides not to go with the obvious choice - The Miz retaining - then Sami Zayn is surely next in line to claim the Intercontinental Championship in the four-way match also featuring Kevin Owens and Cesaro.

Since his permanent return to the WWE main roster in January, Zayn's stocks have only continued to rise. Exceptionally talented in the ring and full of charisma, Zayn has well and truly taken the place of the retired Daniel Bryan as the underdog every man, woman and child wants to see succeed.

Kevin Owens winning the IC Title so many times in such a short time doesn't seem likely, and Cesaro still requires some time to reestablish himself after returning from injury.

If WWE decides to move the title on from The Miz, it will surely go to the Underdog from the Underground.
