We know from Seth's cash in, at WrestleMania 31, that when he cashed in, the match essentially became a triple threat. Seth pinned the challenger to become champion. Would those same rules apply in a non-title match? If Seth was having a non-title match against, say, Bronson Reed, if Priestcashed in, could he win the title by pinning Reed? Could Reed win the title by pinning either Seth or Priest? Does the cash in make it an instant triple threat title match? Or does it being a non-title match override the WrestleMania 31 precedent?

depends on what WWE decides, though I'm not sure why anyone would cash in during a non title match as you are basically giving another dude a title shot if it did become a title match.

I want to know what happens if he cashes it and the champ is not there. Does he win be forfeit?
They should test it out that "any time any place" aspect. Have an episode where Priest comes to Smackdown and interrupts Paul Heyman, hands the brief case and says he wants to cash in right now. Then they can have the ref award the title by forfeit, Heyman freaks out trying to call Roman. Have the suits sort it all out by the end of the episode.
It's a bit odd how no one is even talking about Priest cashing in on Roman.

It's a bit odd how no one is even talking about Priest cashing in on Roman. Cant win the title by countout or DQ, why would you win by forfeit? Priest wins the match but not the title. As for the non title becoming a title match I have to figure it would come down to the GM. Either the non title match becomes a title triple threat or the title match interrupts the non title and replaces it. |

It's a triple threat but the other guy doesn't win the title if he wins

Yeah, you could probably win the title by ref stoppage, but not forfeit unless some exception were made. |

Great question. WWE officially treats Seth's cash-in as one match, not two, as does every site I've seen. Seth probably could have cashed in as a new singles match, but why run the risk of Roman messing it up? By cashing it in during their match he made it no-disqualification - as all triple threats are. Given how weak they both were, it was worth the risk of an extra competitor to have the match be No-DQ. In your scenario, yes. If Damian chose to cash in during a non-title Seth/Reed match, it would become a triple threat that would now be a title match (because of the cash-in). Which means Reed would be able to win the title despite originally starting off in a non-title match. Which would be a great way to have someone win a title and humiliate a heel without having to lose to an injured champ.

Shane Douglas won the Intercontinental Title from HBK at In Your House 4 by forfeit, so there is a precedent for people winning titles that way.

Yeah, winning a title by forfeit is common. Injuries, leaving the company, hell I think one time in WCW a face lost a title match because the heels tampered with his car and he was late to the match. I think it would have to be scheduled in advance though. |

Also, Badd was replaced in the match by Brian Pillman, not DDP. |
