Guess they just wanted to pull off the double turn. Although they still could have done it through a DQ win or something like that I guess,

I don't think it is a good idea to use the title in this instance for the double turn especially when it is the guys first title defence since winning it. Ziggler has now held the title for 24 hours and now about two months without a successful title defence so it makes him look inferior as a mainevent talent. The end result with both guys turning was good I just wish it didn't involve the title changing hands.

Only thing i've come up with is Merch Dolphs sells Rios doesn't so the did the double turn to make it easier to market?

Possibly but surely they can come up with a way to make that turn happen without switching the title. Or they delay it a bit so that Ziggler can actually defend the title a few times rather than have a second failed World title reign.

I know Luke is solid but I hope for the sake of the groupe Bray is above what he was when he was Husky.

As crazy as it sounds I think the new gimmick will help because he will be wrestling a much different style to what he did when he was Husky. Back then he was a bland boring character that did nothing exceptional in the ring. Watching him in NXT he has more freedom in the ring now and is a lot more aggressive and controlling.

This match isn't doing it for me. I have no faith that a Jericho win means anything and their is no build.

I guess they figured Dolph would get more fans trying to win back the belt as a face then just turning face as champ. Make sense, I'm still not a fan though.

WWE do love to have the face chase the title as it does good business for them I just don't like that it made Ziggler look like he was out of his depth in the mainevent again.

Really was a good match, but I knew it'd have some dumb ending so it was hard to enjoy.

Awesome counter by Jericho. Right way to end it with Ricardo getting involved.

Any reason why Dolph wasn't wearing any of his merch when he came to the ring?

That was all well done from the how good the match was to how it ended. Thought it made everyone involved look good.

Jericho was DQ'd because of Ziggler on Smackdown and hit him with the Codebreaker, I assume it was because of that.
