5. Dean Ambrose vs Baron Corbin
What a violent feud this could potentially be. Ambrose and Corbin are known for dishing out punishment in spades and a program between the two over the Intercontinental title could produce fireworks. Wrestling fans already got a glimpse of these two clashing on the go-home Smackdown when Corbin got personally involved in the lumberjack match between The Lunatic Fringe and The Miz.
This could be a feud that could propel either guy up the ladder a long way. Ambrose, the former WWE Champion could use a little boost right now after losing that title and winning a mid-card one. Corbin, on the other hand, is a hot, young prospect on the verge of breaking out in a major way. A program that saw him walk out as Intercontinental champion thus defeating a former world champion would do wonders for his future aspirations. And what would possibly send Corbin over the edge? How about getting eliminated by Dean in the Rumble. We’ve seen in the past that the Lone Wolf does not take losing gracefully and if he blames Ambrose for denying his world title hopes, well then Dean better get eyes in the back of his head.
But all in all, this could be a really fun rivalry. Come on, let’s picture an Ambrose/Corbin TLC match. Wow. And also they will both most likely figure into next month’s elimination chamber match. If they’re at each other’s throats during that war, chaos will undoubtedly ensue. This feud just feels like a no-brainer and one that could make WWE fans hot for both guys. Both guys would have everything to gain from this paring and could be one of the better Intercontinental title programs in a very long time.
