Punk also won the ECW title because of John Morrison's Wellness. Didn't he win the IC title from Regal due to Wellness? This guy has the Triple Crown of Wellness policies. Someone got wellnessed? Let's give the belt to that straight edge guy!

After all the loss of talent that affected Smackdown from November 05-May 06 (with Eddie dying, JBL retiring, Orton suspended, Christian leaving, Angle transferred to ECW, Kennedy's injury, Batista's hiatus, Benoit's time off), Booker really did make the most of it via the heel turn with Sharmell and subsequent transformation into King Booker, to the point it finally got him the big title run in WWE.

Was it Triple H won the title because Big Show got hurt, or the other way around?

Austin and the company kind of seized opportunity from his own injury, using him in more character building segments with Vince because he could not wrestle and he became even more popular.

HAHAHA So many layers for them to FINALLY go with Booker and give him a world title run.

Ambrose only became champion because Roman's violation and the same with Rollins beating Reigns. Hell same with Ambrose and FINN BALOR beating Reigns too, shit we can even say Balor only got the Universal Title due to Roman's wellness violation. It's interesting to think about 2 years later. Roman failing that wellness violation changed the title scene of the main event of both brands and the midcard on Raw given he took the US Title from Rusev. I would say Styles benefited the most. Wasn't the Universal Title gonna be on SDL?

I think it was still in the plans for him to get a world title, just much later (they teased it a bit before Edge had to retire). WM28 was originally gonna be Christian retiring Edge for it IIRC. I've never heard it confirmed that Christian was going to get the belt, but they were very clearly building to a Edge/Christian title program. I'd be surprised if he wasn't penciled in to get at least a short run Would not have surprised me if the three day title reign was always going to be a heel turn catalyst. Only have Christian turn on Edge

The only thing I could find on it is this, which is completely reasonable - HA. You won't believe this. This is exactly what I was remembering. I even liked the damn joke response at the time: It has been confirmed that CM Punk was on steroids How did I turn this into actual steroid use in my memory inside of SIX MONTHS?

Taker was supposed to be in the Fatal 4-Way for the WHC in 2010. Rey broke Takers face on Smackdown, took his spot, and won the title. The Taker Kane title feud took place a little later after Taker recovered.
