#4 The Intercontinental Championship changes hands again
Engaging in one of the most entertaining feuds all year, the Miz and Dolph Ziggler have stolen the show at both of SD Live’s exclusive PPVs so far, and with a ladder match between the two set for Sunday, expect them to do it again.
On the 900th episode of Smackdown (live), the Miz ended Dolph Ziggler’s short reign with the IC title and went on to retain against Sami Zayn at Survivor Series. Considering the lack of mid-card talent on SD Live, Ziggler may recapture the title to keep this feud going, and given the incredible matches these two have displayed, there are no complaints from the majority of fans.

However, WWE is in danger of passing the title around like a hot potato, much like the Women’s Championship on Raw. If Ziggler wins the title back at TLC, there was arguably no point in booking him to lose it on SmackDown 900, as it only halted his incredible momentum, after his huge win at No Mercy.
If the title changes hands constantly, it may reduce the prestige that Miz and Ziggler have brilliantly established back into the championship, and another short reign will remind fans of its mediocrity during the late 2000s-2010s. Although another Dolph Ziggler win would be welcome, it may come at a cost if the title continues to bounce around.
If WWE plans to have the Showoff capture the gold at TLC, they should have a long reign for Ziggler in mind.
