Will the Intercontinental Championship be on the line now? I hope so. It hasn't been defended at WrestleMania since WMX8, which is a travesty. Personally I don't think it will because I doubt Trump will pick someone who WWE wants to have the IC strap. However, I can see Trump's representative possibly costing Umaga an Intercontinental title defense. It wouldn't be right for the belt not to be defended at the 20 year anniversary of Savage/Steamboat.

True - Umaga may not still be the champ in 40 days or whatever.
The Road to WrestleMania has many twists and turns, my young friends.

I don't see Umaga getting to 'Mania with the title. I think Trump's hire cost Umaga the belt in a Triple Threat (so Umaga goes in having only lost to Cena) so there is heat between the two wrestlers other than "Trump hired me to kick your ass".

I expect Umaga to be putting some new face over sooner rather than later.
Super Crazy perhaps? Strange but possible.
At any rate I don't think he'll hold the title for long. Wouldn't be surprised with a face turn soon after either.

I doubt the I-C belt will be defended. The Trump match already has enough on the line without the petty I-C title being on the line. It was only given to Umaga to help build him up to an unbelievably huge monster that no-one can stop, which is what the I-C title was designed to do.

I would be surprised if Umaga loses the title.

Secondary titles should be defended on the secondary PPV shows. In the era of the height of the I-C title, there was one top title. Now there are two (or according to some 3) top titles.

Since they have 3 main titles to defend now, it doesn't really bode well for the lower card titles on these cross brand PPVs. (Probably a guaranteed 4 now, since the women's title will have a match)
Even WWE knows that having 6 title defenses or something looks pretty silly. Between all those guaranteed title matches, a few non title feud blowoffs, a random attention grabber cruiser match, and MITB3, they just don't have any more room.
