Chris Jericho defends Womens Title at house show

[chessarmy]

A few sharp-eyed readers sent word that at last night's WWE Smackdown house show in Hershey, PA it appeared as if Chris Jericho was trying to hide the Intercontinental championship when he came to the ring and wasn't wearing it per usual.

Well, there's a good reason for that. Jericho carried the WWE Women's championship (with some electrical tape masking what the title was) to the ring for his match.

The word going around the wrestlers was that Jericho had accidentally forgotten to pack the Intercontinental championship with him, leaving it in his hotel room when he left for the house show.

There was no heat on Jericho for it, but he did have to put up with quite a few jokes.

I think it'd be funny if they'd have Melina carry the IC belt out for a title defense at a house show.

I don't get why the wrestlers actually bring the belts home with them. You would think the WWE would have an employee responsible for props and such.

Also, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

^yeah I never wondered why they bring them home either... so their kids can play with them? lol

There are two belts. One they allow the wrestlers to carry around with them. Ya know, for TV appearances, autograph signings and just the general novelty of it I suppose. Then there are a set of belts which are kept in mint condition to use for RAW and Smackdown. I'm not just assuming this BTW... a guy I talk to used to work ring crew for WWE.

And also, every time someone wins a title for the first time they give them a title to keep.
