WrestleMania 31 Intercontinental Championship Match

The field for WrestleMania’s blockbuster Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match has grown to five with its newest announced participant, Dolph Ziggler.

The Showoff, a four-time Intercontinental Champion, joins R-Truth, Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper in challenging for Bad News Barrett’s title. More entrants are expected to be revealed in coming weeks.

For the bearer of bad news, the multi-Superstar Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match only adds to recent woes. Barrett has lost non-title contests to not just R-Truth and Ambrose, but also Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan, deepening the pool of potential contenders. Though Barrett dealt Ambrose a loss via disqualification at WWE Fastlane, The Lunatic Fringe absconded with the Intercontinental Championship after the match, leaving Bad News as a champion with no title. Since then, the championship has become a hot potato, changing possession repeatedly.

Will order finally be restored to the Intercontinental Title scene at WrestleMania? Just how many challengers will Bad News Barrett have to contend with? And what will happen at The Showcase of the Immortals when the prestigious Intercontinental Championship is raised high above the ring, with the only means for retrieval being to scale a ladder amid the mayhem of a multi-Superstar brawl?
