Yeah... Del Rio losing at Mania... and it taking like a year before he was given the title pretty much killed him. (doubly so because his character basically cut the same "Destiny!" promo from the time he won the rumble until he won the title...) Del Rio won the title at Summerslam that year after cashing in MITB. He would then drop the belt at Night of Champions before regaining it at Hell in a Cell. hmm I thought it was later... <_< still the destiny promos for HALF A year instead of just the full year  |

It felt like a full year. |

If just wandering away from titles wasn’t allowed HBK would be the first guy to hold the tag, IC, World titles all at once! This guy agrees:  🤢 🤮 |

Forfeiting should be what they do in almost every example for the safety of the wrestlers.
If it's a career-ender, then they don't have to lose on the way out and potentially endanger themselves or others, and if it isn't, the angle is already booked for their return.

It's always a downer, but usually there's a good reason behind it at least.
We had a recent example of "well, that sucks" in Progress when Eddie Dennis had his shoulder separated by a stupid bump in NXT UK a few days before he was supposed to defend against Cara Noir, right as his heel champion run was gaining major ground after forcing David Starr out of the company.
The only bright side was that Cara was so over that he got the biggest reaction ever when he won the belt in the main event.
