Fred Rosser, formerly known as Darren Young in WWE, comments on potentially winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship during his brief push as a singles wrestler in 2016, alongside Bob Backlund.
In 2016, Bob Backlund, WWE Hall of Famer and former WWE Champion, embarked on a mission to "make Darren Young great again." This led to Darren Young receiving multiple opportunities to challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, including one on a WWE pay-per-view, when he faced The Miz at WWE Battleground 2016.
During an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Fred Rosser shares that there were actual talks of putting the WWE Intercontinental Championship belt on him, and that The Miz was very supportive and vocal about the idea of him being the WWE IC Champion.
"There was. Miz was really rooting for me. As much as I couldn't stand The Miz, he was really rooting for me. But that's the nature of the business, you know? I'm glad I had a great run with Miz. He helped me out so much when it came to promos and being able to talk the talk. So, I'll always be grateful for that."
Fred Rosser recently stated that if WWE came calling for him right now, he would be ready. Learn more about that here.
