Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
The Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match has now become a staple of the WrestleMania 33 card. It gives WWE the perfect opportunity to fit a whole host of men onto the ‘Mania card, and always provides one of the early highlights on the night of the show.
The current Intercontinental Champion is Dean Ambrose, a man who won the belt from The Miz on the first SmackDown Live episode of 2017. It’s very possible that Ambrose will still be holding the belt by the time we arrive in Orlando for ‘Mania. It’s also very possible that we could see The Miz in the Ladder match to try to win back his former title.
Along with Ambrose and The Miz, this could be a perfect way to get some of the other mid-card faces from SmackDown on the WrestleMania card. Potential entrants could include Apollo Crews, Luke Harper, Kalisto, Heath Slater, and Rhyno, plus anyone who may find themselves lost in the shuffle or not booked in anything else on the night.
This kind of match is one that always has the potential to steal the show. As we saw last year, when Zack Ryder walked out with the Intercontinental title in this exact match, anyone can become a champion on the biggest night of the year.
