WWE Backlash 2018: 5 surprises that could happen at the pay-per-view

#3 The Miz carries the Intercontinental Championship to SmackDown

The Miz takes on Seth Rollins in an inter-brand match for the Intercontinental Championship. Doesn't that have a great ring to it? Could we possibly see The Miz win the Championship either owing to a distraction or even a clean victory, and take the title to SmackDown Live? Could RAW be left without any mid-card championships?

Because every pay-per-view will be dual-branded going forward, RAW can always get the Championship back subsequently. This would certainly put an interesting spin on things.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?
