Our reports from the United States of America suggest that the storyline of the Intercontinental championship will go on between the current champion Big E and the former three times champion Bad News Barrett. There is also a strong possibility of Big E losing the championship at the following pay per view event Extreme Rules.

Bad News Barrett while in his Wade Barrett gimmick got three intercontinental championship runs, and he was also given a good push. After his return in this new gimmick of Bad News Barrett he did not wrestle for quite a long time. He finally returned to the ring after WrestleMania, and reports say that WWE would welcome him back by giving him an Intercontinental championship run.

On the other hand, Big E is turning out to be quite boring. Turning him face was not a very good idea. And serving him with the championship was even worse.

Earlier plans for the intercontinental championship were different. They first decided to make a triple threat match for the title at WrestleMania XXX including the champion Big E and the two members of the Real Americans, jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro. But as they decided to give Cesaro a push through the thirty man Andre the Giant Battle Royal, plans has to be changed.

There was another idea for this championship. Big E was scheduled to feud with Alberto Del Rio for the title. Del Rio also defeated Big E in a couple of non title matches. A number of sources also claimed that WWE would make a storyline between Big E and Alberto Del Rio as soon as WrestleMania finishes. Sources also claimed that Big E will face Del Rio for the intercontinental championship at the Extreme Rules pay per view event.

But they changed the storyline again as they decided to put Bad News Barrett in the storyline. Barrett was scheduled to debut in his new gimmick at the Royal Rumble match, we also heard him announcing this before Royal Rumble. But his debut was put on standby, and now here he is, finally back in action.

As a feud, we think Big E vs. Barrett would be quite interesting. We have seen the improvement in the character in Barrett, he was quite monotonous in his early days. But after his return in his new gimmick, he is quite interesting now. As for Big E, he might not be a tremendously interesting wrestler, but not very boring either. So we can expect a good feud from the two individuals.
