If WWE's idea was to make the show a special one, I just think that it makes all the sense in the world to book a title change. This did not happen on this episode and there were two opportunities where it could have.
Heavy Machinery took on Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in what was a solid clash. It would not have hurt the division to have booked a title change and for Heavy Machinery to capture the Championships, considering the fact that they are a real team and Ziggler and Roode are only a makeshift unit.

I also think that this was the best stage for Cedric Alexander to upset AJ Styles. Styles could have always bounced back and recaptured the title at the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view coming this weekend.
Of course, WWE wouldn't strip Rollins before Hell in a Cell came around!
