The title, affectionately called the "Big Gold Championship" made its official WWE debut in September 2002, but its true lineage dates to the formation of the National Wrestling Alliance in 1948. Hoping to raise its prestige, the young organization named a NWA World Heavyweight Championship to reign over its member territories. By the 1980s, the title became synonymous with the NWA's largest territory, Jim Crockett Promotions. When JCP morphed into WCW after Ted Turner purchased the company in 1988, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship likewise transformed into the WCW Championship.
First introduced to WWE on September 1, 1979, the Intercontinental Champion has been held by a wide variety of unique and talented competitors from Don Muraco to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to Santino Marella.
Things just keep getting worse for No. 1 contender Daniel Bryan, whose war with The Man going poorly at best thanks to WWE COO Triple H and his handpicked WWE Champion, Randy Orton. CM Punk isn't fairing much better thanks to Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel's trickery; with Night of Champions fast approaching, how will the two Superstars last long enough to mount their respective challenges against Orton and the Axel-Heyman duo? We have a few theories on that and other matters.
