WWE SmackDown Preview: Possible title change, The Fiend's next opponent revealed? (January 31st, 2020)

#3. A Royal Rumble rematch

Shorty G vs Sheamus

This is going to be a good one. We had hoped that we would get to see Sheamus vs Shorty G on the main card, but it was understandably put on the Kickoff show. There were a lot of matches, to begin with, and to sort out time constraints (as well as give fans a reason to tune into the Kickoff show), it had to take that spot.

Sheamus defeated Shorty G, or Chad Gable, as we would like to call him. They're going to get a better spotlight on free TV and they'll likely have more time in the ring as well. It's going to be an interesting contest with high stakes. Ultimately, it's all about having major momentum ahead of the road to WrestleMania 36 and Sheamus made it clear in his interview with Sportskeeda's own Gary Cassidy that he's gunning for the only accolade he's yet to win in WWE - the Intercontinental Championship.

This match could determine the next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship.
