Who thought that instead of a tournament for the IC #1 contender, it should have been one for the US?
I think it would make sense with the Authority trying to get revenge on the Shield. Ambrose rarely defends the title and he is basically being
given a long title reign without actually doing any defending of the belt.
Just a thought. What do you guys think?

Honestly, it does make sense for the tournament being for the Intercontinental title because I think WWE is trying to build the Intercontinental title back to what it was before, hence why guys like Sheamus, Del Rio, RVD were in the tournament. I think what would make storyline sense which I don't get why they don't do it or I hope they start doing is either to Triple H stripping Ambrose of the title due to lack of defense, or make him defend the US Title every show or multiple times in one show till Evolution interfered and cost Ambrose the title. That's how I would see the title scene happening.

Then WWE made the plan to have a Fatal-Four Way #1 contender's match featuring Big Show, Cesaro, Swagger, and possibly Christian. Cesaro was scheduled to win but they couldnt do it because there was no Christian. I'm sure this means Cesaro will win the tournament. Im still not sure why Show wasnt in the tournament though. |

Would have preferred Dean be stripped and the tournament a unification one.

Oh, I had no idea that's why the tournament was made. Thanks for clearing that up for me. |

It makes sense to make it for the IC title since Cesaro seems to be the one heading that way to Extreme Rules. Ambrose is dealing with Evolution so it would muddy feuds.

I definitely did notice that Ambrose didn't have his U.S. belt a few times.
It doesn't really make sense for him to have it. The Shield rarely fight individually and they should just strip him and give it to Fandango or Sandow to push them a bit (although just slightly since U.S. belt means as much as the European championship right now).

Yeah he definitely doesn't deserve the title run without you know, actually defending the belt.
People just don't care enough about the European Title which means it's an after thought, plus WWE don't know wtf to do with it.
I look at Ambrose as a belt caretaker until creative figure out something for the title...

Both titles needed something like this and the IC title is way more important so I would have made the same choice. US title could just use like a battle royal or something…. anything really….. like just defend once or twice a year maybe? That's a start (not serious). Honestly, it's time to just get rid of the US title. It's nothing but an absolute disgrace to the company right now. Bring back something else, it's time for that title to die for a while.

Honestly, I thought it was quite fitting with the Warrior tribute. I know there wasn't any means of tying it to ultimate warrior, but I really go in to it. The IC title really needs to be elevated more and I think this is a good start.

Did Dean even had the belt at mania No. He didn't have it with him at Mania or the night after. He did have it again at Main Event the next night though. |

WWE decided to organize a tournament to determine the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship because according to the original plans, Christian should've made his return and ask his title match which he couldn't participate due to his concussion.
Finally, Christian hasn't been declared fit by the medical staff and officials decided to make a tournament.

They should rename it the Ambrose Title at this point. Ten more days til he beats MVPs reign. I think that's what they've been trying to do.
