Seth Rollins is just getting started as Intercontinental Champ, and the same goes for Jeff Hardy as United States titleholder too. Now Jeff has moved over to SmackDown, there's no way he's dropping that newly-won gold to Jinder Mahal on Friday night in Saudi Arabia.

That's a good thing anyway, because neither secondary title should be switching hands again so soon after WrestleMania and the Superstar Shakeup.

Hardy only beat Mahal this past Monday, and Rollins will have been IC Champ for a scant 20 days when the Greatest Royal Rumble rolls around. That's too soon for WWE to be thinking about another title change for the sake of it. Big media-party though this event is, it doesn't need title changes galore.

A popular babyface win for Rollins to open the show makes sense, and so does Hardy retaining his title against Jinder in the mid card.
