Hey all - changed the title because this is a situation we rarely see these days (so we don't really have rules on it), but I figured it'd be best to let people either decide to find out now or wait and learn about it on the shows. WWE just retweeted from their official Twitter page about the change.

I kinda like when they do title changes on house shows as it adds a bit of realism and gives future live events attendees the slight hope something meaningful will happen.
Congrats to AJ!
I would've preferred if someone else won the battle royal to set up a program between that person and AJ, but that's cool.

Has there ever been an instance where a pair trades title wins on the house show loop? Like KO just wins it back tomorrow in _________?

So flash moment untill he drops it back to Owens in quick order come Tuesday.
But he got to win in MSG so that is check off the bucket list for him no doubt.

I always love it when they do this out of the blue. Gives people a reason to think something cool can happen at a house show.
I bet Owens has it back again before SD on Tuesday.

I like it. It gives it an 'anything can happen when you go to a live event' feel.

As I said before AJ is doing a legacy run and he's now got the US title and a win in MSG off his list

Kevin has been working with an injury for a while. The only thing I can think of is that he finally had to get it taken care of.
Hopefully it's nothing serious.

So how long before he gets a tag title run with Nakamura, complete with an "uneasy alliance" storyline?

We have the Usos as champs, but below them are The Ascension and The Colons. They would need American Alpha to turn, or maybe both Hype Bros turning in lieu of a breakup angle to really have legs.

Hopefully Nakamura can pull the Sami Zayn debut match magic out of his bag. I've been bored of him ever since.

Cool that he won a title there, though. With WWE rarely doing tv and ppv there these days not a ton of people will do that going forward.

Has there ever been an instance where a pair trades title wins on the house show loop? Like KO just wins it back tomorrow in _________? The classic was Booker T and Chris Benoit trading the WCW TV Championship from April 30th 1998 to May 3rd 1998. Booker was the Champion going into the house show circuit, Benoit wins it on Thursday, Booker wins it back on Friday, Benoit wins it on Saturday and Booker wins it back on Sunday so that it's the same man as Champion on Nitro (if I remember correctly, the TV Title hot potato was never mentioned on TV). The big payoff to this was Finlay winning the TV Title on the May 4th 1998 Nitro. Also, I'm going to go with the theory that this is to blowoff the Owens/Styles feud at a faster rate (Styles wins at Battleground and moves on and, since the switch wasn't on TV, Owens isn't hurt as much by losing).
