5 Things to watch out for at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble event

#1 The mid-card titles are swapped again

Could the Intercontinental and United States Championships switch places again?

The United States Championship has been through quite a lot in the past few months.

Dolph Ziggler won it, then immediately forfeited it. Bobby Roode won it next and didn't have a super long title reign before he dropped it to Randy Orton, who turned around and quickly dropped it to Jinder Mahal, who only held it for a few days before being sent over to Raw in the Superstar Shake-up and losing it to Jeff Hardy, who was then shifted over to SmackDown.

Meanwhile, the title is still being defended here with the chance that Mahal could win it back and take it to Raw once more, which would prompt the Intercontinental Championship to have to go over to SmackDown with either The Miz or Samoa Joe winning the title here, or the slight chance The Miz still has his rematch with Seth Rollins at Backlash and wins it there.

All of this sounds like a big game of Jenga where one move orchestrates tons of other moves and everything could come crashing down.

Just because The Miz is on SmackDown and has made the Intercontinental Championship his focal point, don't rule out the possibility that WWE jumps through tons of hoops to put the United States title back on Mahal entirely to have a reason to give The Miz another Intercontinental title reign in return, swapping the mid-card titles between the two brands and throwing the Backlash card into disarray yet again.

Essentially, look out for the result of the first of these two matches to dictate what happens next. If Mahal is victorious, watch out for The Miz or, less likely, Samoa Joe, to dethrone Seth Rollins. Vice versa, as well, with a Mahal victory seeming like a guarantee if the Intercontinental Championship goes over to the SmackDown side.
