When Jeff Hardy returned from his injury to Raw and won the US Championship from Jinder Mahal (who was the first Superstar to change brands) in the opening match, it looked like WWE was planning to make some changes to the mid-card titles of the two shows, namely the Intercontinental and the US Championships.

It was briefly thought that Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins might make a move to the blue brand, taking his title with him.

But, in a surprise move, Hardy showed up with his new US Title on SmackDown the next day.

While the Charismatic Enigma is a great acquisition to the brand, it would have been a refreshing change to swap the mid-card titles between the two brands.
