Was it No Mercy 2007 when Orton lost the title to Triple H then beat him again?

It seems like surely that must have happened more than once.

It's happened more than once where it was a match restarted or a rematch like on No Mercy when Orton and Triple had two matches, but I'm referring to when someone loses their championship only to have a second shot in a different match altogether and reclaim it involving different superstars.

Can we have a clue?

This event saw the crowning of the two-time, two-time, two-time world heavyweight champion!

At what wrestling event did a world champion lose their title only to win it back in an entirely different match later that same night?

Sid Vicious was once stripped of the title and then subsequently won it back by defeating Kevin Nash and a Harris brother on an episode of Thunder. Is this it?

Technically, I suppose it could be because I thought I specified in a match he lost the championship and won it back in a different match.

 

[Fuji Vice]

Yeah, that's why I asked. So that's not the right answer, back to the drawing board. :

Was it in WWE?

Technically, it did happen in a WWE umbrella brand.

The champion wins back their original world championship in a new match, not a different world title.

That's a good one though.

I'm thinking something to do with ECW, is that close?

It's certainly not cold... :

Okay, Nitro in '99. Sting beats DDP for the title and then puts it on the line later in the night against Goldberg, Nash and DDP, who wins the belt back and begins his second reign as champion.

This has to be it.

Maybe it involves booker t : because he said two time two time

Bing! You got it, bang! I didn't think I made it this hard! :

You're go.

Booker T didn't do that until WWE with his fifth reign. DDP did that after this Nitro and would say two-time, two-time, two-time WCW Champion.

Why three times, I don't know.
