This won't happen, but it crossed my mind at the beginning of this past Smackdown...
You know how Cody Rhodes has been spending all of this time "elevating" the Intercontinental championship to a new level of prestige? Remember how he talked about doing "all of the work" in the Royal Rumble?
Well, the winner of the Rumble traditionally has gotten a shot at ANY title, right? What if Cody kept antagonizing Sheamus and telling him that if he REALLY wanted to be the top champion, he would have to become the Intercontinental champion. At first, Sheamus would laugh at the idea, but Cody's continued attacks and taunting set that Irish fire ablaze, and he finally uses his Royal Rumble shot for Cody's Intercontinental title at Wrestlemania.
I know it won't happen, and I think they actually clarified "one of the show's world titles" for the first time this year, but I think it could have been interesting.
