Not counting the time when Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor to become NXT Champion, it’s been years since a title changed hands at a WWE Live Event. One goes into a Live Event with the preconceived notion that they know what's going to transpire at the said show, and this has resulted in severely declining house show attendance in the past few years.
With this shocking title change, there is, quite suddenly, an air of unpredictability at WWE Live Events and a feeling of ‘anything can happen’. This bodes well for the live event numbers in the long run for WWE.
