I mean, I'm assuming they'll be following up on what happened tonight with him and Heyman, and with Punk still mostly tied up with Ryback, this seems like the most likely way to go with it, right?

Either that, or it's a swerve and Big E is the next Heyman Guy.

Speaking as probably the biggest Curtis Axel fan on this board, I sincerely hope so.

I actually wouldn't mind it.
Get the IC Title off of Axel, finish up the Punk/Heyman story.
Have Heyman shift focus to making Axel and Ryback tag champions, feuding with the Rhodes (or the Usos if they somehow become face tag champs soon).

Whoever it's going to be, they'll likely be just a filler champion.
I can't remember the last time a face has had a meaningful midcard title reign.

US title, Santino. Morrison, not really. All his reign really did was kill the momentum Ziggler'd built up feuding with Mysterio before he dropped it to McIntyre. As for Santino's run, I mostly just remember it for the fact that he should have dropped it to Otunga within a week of winning it but somehow had it like five months. |

US title, Santino. Daniel Bryan had a good US Title run. Maybe because of those matches he had with Ziggler. |

They're definitely behind him, and giving him a strong IC title reign would be a great way to get him over more without hotshotting him up the card. Maybe they realize where they went wrong with Ryback, who could've benefitted from an IC title reign instead of challenging for the WWE title and getting owned by Punk/Shield non-stop, and are going to make good with Big E. Personally, I would absolutely love to see this. But Curtis Axel without the IC title around his waist sounds like an empty shell of a man, and that saddens me. |

Funny thing is that if they realized that with Ryback, why don't they just put him back down there? WWE needs to stop letting people float around in "too good for midcard, but not good enough to main event purgatory". I mean, a Big E/Ryback feud for the IC belt sounds like it would be fun. |

The fact that Curtis Axel has been IC Champion for over four months now is absolutely mind-boggling.

Agreed, that would be a fun IC title feud. It would feel like 2 guys on the rise feuding over something important. That purgatory exists in large part because of the World title, imo. Get rid of that and have more defined roles for each title, and I think it will structure the card much better. With The Cena coming back and probably winning the WHC, we might just be heading for unification-ville. |

I gotta say, a Big E Curtis Axel feud, that's definitely where the ratings are.

The fact that Curtis Axel has been IC Champion for over four months now is absolutely mind-boggling. And he got it because Fandango got a concussion. |

As long as his victory promo consists solely of saying "Thank you. Kaitlyn is a violent thug. Again, thanks.", I'm in.

Big E got the tools to make it big. Doing a run as Intercontinental champion would be greatly beneficial to Langston.
