Does Matt Riddle win the title tonight?

[Urethra Franklin]

If there's one thing that could maybe get people to stop talking about Vince McMahon, it might be a title change.

What are the chances that they put the belt on Matt Riddle tonight as an attempt to distract from everything else going on?

You could say that it's a kinda anticlimactic finish to Roman's Reign (that's an anagram, btw), but A. You're sooooooo light on top faces with Cody and Orton out B. Roman's sked means the belts are rarely on TV and C. *gestures at everything else* all of that.

Do I think this happens? I dunno, but I think it's a lot more possible today than it was a couple of days ago.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I really doubt it, but I could see it ending in him winning by DQ to weasel out of the stipulation and keep the door open for him as a potential challenger at SummerSlam.

[The Foreigner™: OffSZN]

I agree it's much more likely now, even if that percentage increase is still relatively small.

If WWE fudges the story to make Roman defend only the WWE title, of course the odds drastic go up.

Lol, no.

...............NOPE

Win the match yes
Win the title...hell no

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

No chance. (In hell?)

[Ben Wyatt]

The other x factor is their planned Orton/Reigns match isn't happening at SS.

I actually think there's a chance

Let’s distract from the Vince/Johnny Ace sex scandal by putting the title on a guy who not too long ago had one of his own. Brilliant!

That is a strong possibility.
Riddle wins WWE Championship tonight.
McIntyre wins the Universal Title at Clash At The Castle.

Well, yeah. That's the big problem with this.

If it were Drew or Lashley, I think it would be a lot more likely.

[Final Countdown Jones]

The funniest thing in the world will be if the reason the Roman title run went so long was for the purposes of a "Break glass when sex scandal allegations finally come to light" news burial

[Chainsaw]

It would be very on brand for WWE to put the title on a man with sexual assault accusations while their boss is also dealing with sexual assault accusations.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Yeah, if anything Riddle would likely just make the problem worse, especially since no one outside of the wrestling bubble (which isn't Vince's problem, if a scandal known to the wrestling community were going to bring him down it'd have happened decades ago) is going to give a shit about a record title reign ending so people'd only focus on the accusations against him.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

No. I think he loses clean and then next year gets his shot at the belt.

[Deleted]

honestly it’s insane but yes, I do think riddle wins it tonight

[canceled4truth]

I want Riddle to win in the sense that I really enjoy his on-screen character. In terms of his off-screen character, tonight would not be the best night to do it.

[polarbearpete]

I would love it, but I can’t imagine they do it, just given the sheer length of Reigns’ reign.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Nope, Roman's gonna win and go back to his vacation he probably is thinking to himself he didn't take a moment too soon lol

[ayumidah]

I would be shocked.

[Error]

It wouldn't shock me. I could see Vince attacking the deck against Roman to make sure his potential last appearance on WWE TV is as a babyface and Riddle picks up the win.

I just think him getting DQ'd so Riddle gets another shot down the line or cheats to win and Rushed wins MITB so he forces another shot is more likely.
