The WWE Intercontinental Championship is a professional wrestling championship in WWE, which is currently held by Dean Ambrose. Along with the WWE United States Championship, it is one of WWE's secondary titles. Although generally contested in the midcard at WWE shows, the title was defended in the main events of WrestleMania VI, SummerSlam in 1992, the third and eighth In Your House events, and Backlash in 2001. The championship has been called a "stepping stone" to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
