#1 Reason why WWE Champion Drew McIntyre vs Dolph Ziggler was made a non-title match

Last week on RAW, Dolph Ziggler begged Drew McIntyre to give him a match for the WWE Championship. The ShowOff even agreed to accept any stipulation McIntyre chose for the match. However, WWE decided to make the match a non-title one for no apparent reason.

While nobody addressed the issue of why a Championship match was randomly turned into a non-title match on-screen, WrestleTalk has revealed why this decision was taken by WWE.

“Last week one of the segments was going to be Randy Orton going for the title, but it was torn up. Obviously, it was torn up because they were going to do the title match at the next show and they talked about the title match on this show. Then within an hour they decided that they just wanted to make sure that the Orton/McIntyre match was promoted this week because they didn’t promote it last week originally, they delayed it a week, but they promoted it before that [Ziggler] match and [Orton] was directly challenging McIntyre, not the winner so it was a fact because they were doing it that way they had to do it a non-title match.” (h/t WrestleTalk)
