Many fans have likely noticed that [COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]WWE's[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] Intercontinental championship has been put on the back-burner and really isn't used for major angles as of late. An example of this was Kofi Kingston's match against Alberto Del Rio at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. WWE went with a non-title match and the commentators basically ignored it and joked around. We noted prior to the [COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]PPV[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] that there was talk of putting the IC title on the line and then doing a 'champion vs. champion' match at [COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]WrestleMania[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] between Edge and Del Rio but that obviously didn't happen.
I'd also like to note that Kofi Kingston has not won a match since January 25th when he and Rey beat Kane and ADR. Hasn't won a singles match since January 11th when he defeated Jack Swagger.
