#2. Determining the #1 contender for Intercontinental Championship

The WWE Intercontinental Championship will not be defended at Crown Jewel as Shinsuke Nakamura will be competing in Team Hogan vs Team Flair. He is a member of the second team alongside Randy Orton (c), Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre.
But due to the limited number of matches confirmed for the PPV, there’s a chance that WWE will announce a match to determine the No. 1 contender for the IC title at the event.
During the kick-off show, we will see 20 men competing in the Battle Royale to fight for a shot at the United States Championship. The winner will then go up against AJ Styles in an attempt to capture the US Title.
However, the PPV match card has no booking that features any SmackDown mid-card talent. WWE might just announce an impromptu match between two Superstars to determine Nakamura’s next challenger and will look to blend it in the Champion’s ongoing storyline with Daniel Bryan.
