10 Times WWE Decided To Switch WWE Champions RIGHT BEFORE Entrances

10. Riddle Was Set To Be United States Bro For A Bit Longer - WrestleMania 37

After putting together a collection of some of the most gruelling encounters seen on WWE television in some time, a decent amount of onlookers were all silently hoping that Sheamus would be given something compelling to do coming into the first fan-attended WWE PPV in forever.

Thankfully, a thrown together rivalry with United States Champion Riddle ensured the violent Irishman's talents wouldn't be wasted on the night of WrestleMania 37, but the unexpected sight of Sheamus taking away The Original Bro's mid-card crown was enough to catch just about everyone off-guard.

As it goes, the former NXT man was very much set to continue on reigning as the US Bro coming out of The Show of Shows. However, a surprisingly late call saw Riddle lose his title as a way of undoing a development that was never actually supposed to go down in the first place, with the eventual RK-Bro man's winning of the strap at Elimination Chamber coming as another last-minute switch-up due to Keith Lee not being available to win the belt.

On top of this late-US title switcheroo, the result of Randy Orton and The Fiend's bitter 'Mania blow-off was also said to have been a seriously late call too.
