They realistically should put it on Gunther now that he is on Raw, but I am pretty sure they want him to break the longest reign as IC Champ record, which would be sometime after Summerslam.
I don't think they will want to make McIntyre the first champion unless he signs a new deal.
I think it has to be somebody that hasn't already lost to Reigns multiple times the last 3 years, or they immediately are a consolation champion.
Rollins fits that build, but he would need to become far more serious to be champion.
If Sheamus gets drafted to Raw, he would be a good option as well, and could revisit the fued with Gunther once Gunther drops the IC Title.
A dark horse would be if they have Damien Priest do something truly dastardly to Bad Bunny, like trying to actually cripple the dude, and ride him as a fully unlocked truly evil heel.
I still think Lashley would have been the best choice since he twice lost the WWE title while remaining fully protected, but they sent him to Smackdown.
