10 Ridiculous Ways WWE Champions Lost Their Titles

1. The New Day & The Street Profits Are Losers

Well they didn't win their new belts in October 2020 did they?

All sorts goes unchecked in WWE now, to such an extent that a sizeable position of their existing (shrinking) audience have only ever known the product one way and thus don't stop to ask questions of gaping logic flaws, plot-holes or creative cul-de-sacs the company constantly finds itself lost down. This ungainly piece of sh*t moment must never go unchecked. What are all of us watching for if it does?

There's nothing criminally wrong with wanting titles to remain exclusive to particular shows, even if the real reason is just because of the colour-obsessed branding of it all. But if this quirk is a particular concern, don't switch the Champions. Or, if enough thought has been put into why one or both teams need to change shows, have them lose the titles first! This patently fake and inherently thick scene shouldn't have ever played out at all, but it did because it was as if they thought the rest of it was real.

No wonder WWE so often feels like it's skidding all over the shop. Does anybody, even Vince McMahon, have a hand on the wheel?
