Dean Ambrose Gets Kevin Owens For The Intercontinental Championship

It looked like Dean Ambrose had a feud brewing against Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens a few weeks ago. Seth Rollins getting injured and the WWE having that tournament to crown a new WWE Champion spoiled things, although the two still met during the tournament. Now that the tournament is over, the WWE is going back to that title feud.

These two are favorites for wrestling fans. They should be interested in this feud, especially with a title involved. Outside of that, there is no intricate story here. I do not have a problem with that. There is nothing wrong with just having a feud be about a title. In fact, I wouldn't have minded if the WWE didn't telegraph that this was the feud they were going to have. You can have a title feud where a guy wins a #1 contenders match or tournament, then start the feud from there. Not all feuds should be like that, but it is okay now and then. Moreover, given the WWE's recent history of sloppy storylines and sour angles, it is probably for the best that the WWE does not try anything fancy with this feud. Just keep it about the title. It can be nice filler feud with the Royal Rumble coming up soon after TLC. I would expect both Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens to be in the Rumble match.

Does Dean Ambrose need to win the Intercontinental Championship? He has had some title success already. Although it has been a while since he held the United States Championship, he has been pushed pretty well in the last year. Without ever winning a title in that span, he has still main-evented some PPVs. He made it to the final match of that recent tournament, as was expected. He's doing fine. As of now, I am thinking Owens retains.
