At one point, there was a plan in place for Cesaro to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, likely from Bad News Barrett.

WWE switched programs for Cesaro, who is now chasing the United States Championship and Sheamus. WWE felt that it would hurt Cesaro to be chasing the other championship and Sheamus was a more viable opponent.

There is no word right now if this will affect the outcome of the championship match on Sunday.
