WWE News: Intercontinental Championship Match Set for Greatest Royal Rumble

As per the earlier reports, the Greatest Royal Rumble card already had a series of matches those can matchup to the Wrestlemania calibre.

The Universal Championship match was inserted from WWE Raw in a rematch between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar from Wrestlemania 34. They will battle it out over the title inside a steel cage match.

Now another title match has been confirmed to take place on the show. It will get contested for the Intercontinental Championship.

As we all know, the title changed hands at the biggest stage of them all. After residing at the shoulders of The Miz for the better part of last two years, it might have found a steady place.

Seth Rollins became the new holder for the title after pinning the former champion, clean in the middle of the ring.

A picture-perfect Curb Stomp was delivered to The Miz that handed away the prestigious title to the Architect of the Shield. Going forward, he will have to feature in a huge championship match while defending it.

A fatal-4-way ladder match has been confirmed to take place at the Greatest Royal Rumble event. It will witness Seth Rollins taking on against Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, and The Miz, at the same time.

No advantage is present for the champion, as the title will be suspended high above the ring. Any man putting his hands into it and unlocking it from the suspended situation will be declared as the new winner.

Check out WWE.com announcing this match,

“Four Superstars will take the competition to new heights at WWE’s Greatest Royal Rumble event, where the Intercontinental Championship will be contested in a high-risk Ladder Match. Given the title’s rich heritage, Finn Bálor, Seth Rollins, The Miz and Samoa Joe will stop at nothing to claim the workhorse championship on Friday, April 27, when it will dangle from the ceiling of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.”

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.
