Finally moving away from tag title changes, we turn to Christian, who was the beneficiary of an unfortunate injury.

Having won the reactivated Intercontinental Championship, Captain Charisma lost the title to Booker T on a July 2003 episode of Raw. But Booker would need time off due to a nagging back injury, which prompted a title change a month later at a house show in Des Moines, Iowa, with Christian regaining the IC title.

Christian’s third title reign would end nearly two months later when Rob Van Dam defeated him.
