As seen on Smackdown this past week current Intercontinental champion Finn Balor has officially moved over to the blue brand through the Superstar Shake-up. The main question that this brings up is does now have no mid-card title. Even though at this point neither championship carries much significance and in all honesty it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to see the US & Intercontinental champions feud to a unification match. This would be incredible to considering this would mean Finn Balor & Samoa Joe could have a feud together, but at this point I see Balor fighting Andrade next week and dropping the title.
In my opinion, Balor does fit better on Smackdown and has needed to move for at least a year to refresh his character and see if they can hit his stride on the blue brand. After this past Monday the only possibility for me is to see is to see next week as a "farewell" week of sorts or they have a rematch between Balor & Andrade in Saudi Arabia at the end of the month which would finally allow Raw to have a mid-card title again. I also think that after the recent performances Andrade has been given with Mysterio and the year he had last year letting him build more momentum be gaining a championship would be a great step in the right direction for the former NXT Champion.
