At one point WWE had plans for Cesaro to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a recent program. Instead, WWE opted for “The King of Swing” to work with Sheamus for the WWE United States Championship, with the feeling that going for the I-C title would be counter-productive for the newest “Paul Heyman Guy.”
As of now, there is no definitive word as to whether or not this will impact Sunday’s WWE Payback pay-per-view, where both the I-C and U.S. titles will be on the line.
