10 Strangest Ways To Win A Wrestling Championship

10. Divorce (TNA Digital Media Championship)

The TNA Digital Media Championship, somehow, lives.

A sledgehammer-wielding PCO had sliced it apart during Game Changer Wrestling's 19 January The People vs. GCW card in what was immediately reported by PWInsider's Mike Johnson to have been a shoot, with the gargantuan French Canadian making subsequent scathing remarks directed at TNA executives a mere four days before he was purportedly scheduled to drop the title and exit TNA.

PCO has since left TNA and lost the Digital Media Title...

...in a bitter divorce.

TNA's first live iMPACT! in eight years came with the revelation that Steph de Lander, PCO's in-storyline wife, had divorced him, winning the Digital Media Championship in the settlement. This wasn't the checkmate TNA expected it to be. A self-inflicted failure, it may not be, but PCO's destruction of the belt ripened TNA's opportunity to shelve it. The championship has lacked any creative direction since its fall 2021 inauguration, and its on-again, off-again attachment to upper-echelon talents, such as Jordynne Grace, Matt Cardona, and Joe Hendry didn't do the belt, nor the champions, any favours.

Still, changing a titleholder via divorce is one of those things that the Anthem-helmed promotion will become remembered for. Cue the 'Remember when TNA did that wacky thing???' tweet this time next year.
