WWE Intercontinental Championship

The Intercontinental Championship is currently in the hands of a first-time titleholder, with Ethan Page currently experiencing his first main roster title reign.

Ethan Page won the title from another first-time champion, defeating Chad Gable on the November 2 edition of Monday Night Raw.

While we haven’t had a multi-time IC Champion reign with the gold since March, there are a number of former champions who we could see win the title in the coming months.

Here are three WWE stars who we could soon see win back the Intercontinental Championship.

Chad Gable

Chad Gable was the last star to hold the Intercontinental Championship before Ethan Page, winning the gold from Penta at SummerSlam in August.

The former Olympian held the gold for 91 days, defending the gold against the likes of Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.

While many are hopeful that Gable will be elevated into the main event scene and perhaps even win the World Heavyweight Championship, the popular star remained in the IC Title picture on the November 9 Raw episode, where he came up short in that night’s #1 contender’s match.

If Gable continues to vie for the Intercontinental Title, it would make a lot of sense to see him lift the championship once again.

Dominik Mysterio

Having lost his AAA Mega Championship rematch to El Grande Americano during Heroes Inmortales on October 24, there is currently some uncertainty surrounding Dominik Mysterio’s long-term direction.

With Dominik competing for the Intercontinental Title during the November 5 non-televised house show, it’s clear that WWE sees him as an asset to this division, so we could see him competing for the title on WWE TV very soon.

Dominik Mysterio is a two-time Intercontinental Champion, first holding the gold for 204 days ahead of losing to John Cena on the November 10, 2025 Raw episode, in what would be Cena’s final title win of his career.

He won the championship back from Cena at Survivor Series later that month, and reigned for 93 days ahead of dropping the gold to Penta in March.

Bron Breakker

Another two-time Intercontinental Champion who could win the gold for a third time is Bron Breakker, who is looking for new direction after losing a different championship.

With Breakker and Austin Theory of The Vision dropping the World Tag Team Championship to Penta and Je’Von Evans at Crown Jewel, we could see Breakker receive another singles push, following a somewhat competitive encounter with Oba Femi on November 9.

Breakker first won the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam 2024, defeating Sami Zayn to win the championship which he held for 51 days.

Jey Uso defeated Breakker for the gold that September, which Breakker won back 27 days later, and subsequently held for 180 more days before dropping the title to Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 41.
