10 WWE Wrestlers With Most Intercontinental Championship Reigns
The WWE Intercontinental Championship carries an immense prestige and rich legacy. The belt was first introduced by WWE in 1979, making it the second oldest championship after the WWE Championship, originally launched in 1963.
The Intercontinental Championship is classified as a mid-card belt, and it was the sole such title of the division until the introduction of the United States Title. The gold is the first stepping stone for a WWE Superstar before transitioning to the main event scene.
In the five decades of history of the Intercontinental Championship, many noteworthy names have held the belt. Have a look at the wrestlers with the highest number of reigns.
