... of losing a match there only to get a World title shot at the next PPV, not counting rematch clauses from title matches?
It's happened at WrestleMania 1 (Piper) and then was retired for awhile, but then came back for 12 (Diesel), kind of 13 (if you count Mankind's match being a double count out rather than a loss), 14 (Cactus Jack if you count the decision being reversed), 16 (The Rock), 18 (Hogan), 20 (Michaels and JBL), 22 (Triple H), 23 (Michaels, Edge, Orton, and Umaga), 24 (Cena and Triple H), 25 (Orton), 27 (Cena and Alberto), 28 (Jericho), 29 (Ryback), 30 (Kane), and 32 (Styles). And that's not counting times the person lost at Mania then got the title shot the next time it was defended on PPV, like Savage losing at 3 or for 31 Rollins losing at Mania then coming into the next PPV as champion.

Watch the 2nd match.
Somebody pointed out the loser of the 2nd match gets the title shot.

I'm wondering who will continue the tradition of winning a title match in less than a minute?

Somehow the answer is always Batista on a Sunday.

I have to rule a technicality here, though, since Backlash isn't the absolute next PPV, Payback is. True, but on same technicality, they haven't had separate brand PPVs for a few years, so it should count. Only way to make it work on your side is if Chris Jericho got the shot at Lesnar. |

If that happened, something crazier would need to happen to follow it like...I don't know, off the top of my head...Jinder Mahal becoming number one contender for the WWE title. Then we'd be going down a dark path... |
