In the 1995 WWF pay per view show “In Your House”, Dean Douglas was set to wrestle
the “Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship but due
to a real-life incident which left Shawn Michaels physically unable to compete after getting
beaten up by a marine in the parking lot of a bar in New York, he was therefore forced
to vacate his Intercontinental Championship. Michaels simply did not want to drop the belt
to Dean Douglas so he had makeup applied to his face to exaggerate his injury and therefore
forfeited the belt instead… Dean Douglas would only go on to hold the belt for just
20 minutes after losing it to Razor Ramon.
Money In The Bank 2019 saw Rey Mysterio win the United States Championship for the first
time in his career after he defeated Samoa Joe despite one of Joe’s shoulders not being
fully down for the count… But due to a legitimate shoulder injury that Rey was dealing with,
he made the choice to relinquish his title to the very same person he beat in controversial
fashion just two weeks prior and that was Samoa Joe. Rey handed over his United States
Championship to end his feud with Samoa Joe but it wouldn’t be a Samoa Joe feud without
a coquina clutch from behind or without involving a family member…
Randy Orton and John Cena had one helluva feud back in 2007, which even involved John
Cena’s father… Their bitter rivalry was supposed to lead up to a Last Man Standing
match for the WWE championship at No Mercy but right before that could happen, John Cena
suffered a torn right pectoral muscle on Raw during his match against Mr Kennedy which
meant he was out of action and therefore stripped of his championship. Randy Orton was then
awarded the WWE championship by “The Chairman” Vince McMahon at the start of No Mercy. However,
he would go on to lose it in the opening match against Triple H but then regained the championship
in the Last Man Standing main event on the same night!
Back when Vickie Guerrero was the General Manager of SmackDown… Don’t you miss those
times? Yeah me neither! She stripped Edge of his World Heavyweight Championship as a
result of him using the spear (which she had banned) in a previous match. On the 600th
episode of SmackDown, Vickie Guerrero awarded her boyfriend at the time Dolph Ziggler the
World Heavyweight Championship. Can’t say Booker T was too pleased about it… His championship
reign did not last long however as he lost the title to Edge after Teddy Long returned
and rehired him.
After Finn Balor relinquished his universal title due to a legitimate shoulder injury
he suffered, a fatal four-way elimination match was set up the following week on Raw
for the vacant universal championship. The match featured: Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns,
Big Cass and Seth Rollins. Drama started to unfold when Triple H interfered in the match
to help Seth Rollins eliminate Roman Reigns. From this point onwards, it was looking very
likely that Seth Rollins was going to win right up until Triple H turned on him and
hit him with a pedigree… All Kevin Owens needed to do was to pin Seth Rollins which
he did to become the new universal champion. It’s almost as if Triple H heard Kevin Owens’ prayer.
You don’t ask, you don’t get…
