A rare event took place last night in Santiago, Chile, as a major WWE world title swapped hands at a non-televised live event.
While other titles, such as Intercontinental, United States, Tag Team, and the now-retired 24/7, have changed hands at house shows, it’s very, very rare that major single titles do so without the bright lights of live television broadcasts.
Stephanie Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World title yesterday, marking the first time that the women’s title officially changed hands at a house show.
It’s also the first time since November 1994 when a major title match went the other way, with then champion Bob Backlund losing the WWE Championship to Diesel at a house show in Madison Square in eight seconds.
