The former champion, The Miz is now a Smackdown Live brand superstar. But, he is getting yet another opportunity to the championship exercising his rematch clause.
Also, Balor and Joe are getting a chance to become the title-holder, too. Considering that Seth Rollins has all the tools to become a great Intercontinental Champion, chances are high that he will overcome the odds to retain the title.
