WWE
A title change took place at tonight’s WWE live event in Santiago, Chile in a major match ahead of Money In The Bank.
On this week’s WWE Raw show, Stephanie Vaquer challenged Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship in a rematch from their encounter at WrestleMania 42 where Morgan won the title.
Stephanie was unsuccessful in the match after interference from the other members of Judgment Day, which Becky had warned her about prior to the match, with Becky even coming to ringside for the match to help fend off Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.
WWE is currently in the midst of a tour of South America, with them holding a live event tonight in Santiago, Chile.
Stephanie Vaquer Wins Women’s World Championship In Chile
With the show being in Chile, WWE announced on social media that Stephanie would once again challenge Liv for the Women’s World Championship in her home country, this time with Becky Lynch as the Special Referee.
Stephanie and Liv have faced off on almost every night of the ongoing tour, which raised a lot of fans’ eyes when WWE advertised the match in Santiago on social media.
We now clearly know the reason behind the hype, as Stephanie actually defeated Liv on tonight’s live event, becoming a two-time Women’s World Champion in her home country.
WWE’s Recent Trend Of Shock Title Changes Is A Good Thing
During the Triple H era of WWE, it had become a tradition that most championship reigns would last for a long time, with the most notable examples being Roman Reigns’ legendary Universal Championship run, and Gunther’s record-breaking Intercontinental Championship reign.
The change was a welcome one at the start of the Triple H era due to the feeling that titles flipped uneventfully all the time during the Vince McMahon era, but it eventually got to a point where almost every title reign would last for months, and led to the reigns and product become stagnant.
In the past year, a lot more surprise title changes have taken place, with the WWE Championship itself changing hands on free television four times in 2026 alone, a nice change of pace from the typical year long reigns of the Triple H regime prior.
However, it is important that not every single title changes hands frequently all the time, and a balance must be found between constantly flipping titles, and continuing lengthy reigns of substance.
