Goku's Rivalry With Jiren Potentially Would Have Started Much Earlier

In the original episode summaries for the Tournament of Power exhibition matches, Jiren was listed as Belmod’s guest instead of Toppo. At the time, this was chalked up to internal mistakes that ended up going as far as the official summaries, but it stands out as the only mistake of its caliber. Instead of looking at it as a mistake, it’s certainly possible that Jiren really was meant to accompany Belmod.

We could have gotten a richer rivalry between Goku and Jiren. As it is now, Jiren isn’t really interested in Goku. That likely wouldn’t have changed had they met at the exhibition match, but it would have severely changed their dynamic. After losing to Jiren there, Goku would have a more personal goal to strive for. His relationship with Toppo is interesting enough, but all the recent focus on Goku and Jiren has undermined it.
