Were the two events to close together?

The Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash are taking place merely nine days apart, and thus there has been little in the way of building these matches in the lead up to the event, given the focus on Greatest Royal Rumble matches.

As a result, promos, and segments have been more focused on building matches at the earlier event.

A second concern is that matches are taking place between opponents who are no longer on the same roster, as the matches were set prior to the superstar shakeup.

Fans feel that the likelihood of certain wrestles winning championships attached to their old brand is unlikely since they are no longer on that roster.

What is the likelihood that Seth Rollins would lose the Intercontinental title? It doesn't seem likely that The Miz would return to Raw, or bring the title to Smackdown which already has the U.S. title. These kinds of scenarios may have some scratching their heads.
