With John Cena finally capturing the WWE Intercontinental Championship on WWE Raw, he will definitely have challengers ahead.
From stars already in the hunt for the title to others who could pop-up only to challenge the legendary Cena — there could be some interesting faces looking for an IC title match.
Here are seven WWE stars that could challenge John Cena for the Intercontinental Championship on WWE Raw.
7. Sheamus

A fellow WWE veteran who seemed interested in taking on John Cena for the Intercontinental Championship was Sheamus.
Spotted in the initial scene of Cena going backstage after the win, he would later note that he wanted a title shot against Cena.
Sheamus was previously in the same boat as Cena, never having won the IC title and thereby having the WWE Grand Slam elude him.
With the potential for the two WWE legends to have another major match before Cena retires, it could be the perfect way for Sheamus to also capture his first Intercontinental Championship and WWE Grand Slam.
