- At the WWE RAW show in Paris, France today, Mickie James beat WWE Women's champion, Melina and Victoria in a Triple Threat match, by pinning Victoria to capture the title.

However, three matches later into the show, Melina beat WWE Women's champion, Mickie James with her feet on the ropes in just a couple minutes to regain her title.

Also on the card, WWE IC champion, Santino Marella beat The Coach in a very quick match and Ricky Steamboat refereed a match that saw Cena beat Edge. Also, a fan ran in the ring to disrupt the show but was quickly knocked down and out by security.

Doubt it'll be acknowledged, but I found it interesting that there was a women's title change (technically two) on one of the house shows.

My guess is that it was a botched result.
Victoria probably forgot to kick out or something and, as such, they had to fix it before rolling onto the next show.

Or you could believe it was just a piece of interesting booking, having an unexpected title change and then having a rematch on the same card would be exciting to see at a house show instead of the same old retaining that happens at most of the house shows.

Personally I'd like to look on the "it was all booked" side simply because it's more pleasent then someone forgetting to kick out or having that fact knocked out of them by a botched move.

Well, yeah..
But surely, switching the belt to a face on a house show is going to make people feel good. Having a rematch less than an hour later and switching the title back to the heel is gonna cause a disturbance.

It would be nice to think it was done purposely.
In which case, are they going to register it. And if it was done as a treat for the fans, maybe the shoulder consider doing it more often..

Actually Ash, up until the mid-90s it wasn't unheard of for them to do this on house shows (without acknowledging the title changes). Most commonly it was done to test out the reaction a certain wrestler would get when he (or in this case, she) won said belt. I believe they stopped doing it because 1.)People started to smarten up and realize that if it happened, more than likely the person who won the belt (only to lose it later) was probably gonna win it on TV soon and 2.)The "Luger Incident". (Lex Luger had won the WWF World belt on several house shows in a similar manner and Vince had saw it get a good reaction. So, it was all set to have Luger win the belt at the next PPV...when Luger like a genius blurted out that result on a radio interview. This resulted in him being punished by jobbing in the title match.)

The first point makes sense, Oni. But the second part not so much nowadays. Because if a wrestler's a big of an idiot he can just blurt out the result that he wins a belt in any sort of match. Not necessarily just in this situation.

You have to remember the time frame though Kyle, when Luger said this wrestling was seen as a "legit sport" still. As you can imagine, Vince wasn't too happy about his kayfabe being shattered thanks to Luger.

Well, yeah, I understand that the times were different. But now it wouldn't be so unscene, I guess you could say. People are so used to dirt sheets that it wouldn't be as HUGE.

Two-time Women's Champion for Mickie! I hope they do acknowledge it. Because now she's on her way to breaking Trish's record. Yeah right. I doubt WWE will let anyone break that record anytime soon. *hopes though*

Technically that'd be her third time as Women's Champion if it were counted. See, she's a little closer to Trish's outrageous number.

Oh, that's right. I forgot about her reign between Lita and Melina. Speaking of which, is Melina's second reign (if this is counted) gonna be over soon? I really don't care for her.

Yeah, same here. I enjoyed her when she was apart of MNM, because she added some oomph to the stable besides Joey and Johnny's obvious in-ring skills. In a perfect world Victoria would regain it, then go on to show all of them how it's done.

Daizee Haze would jump the rails and steal the belt from Melina, thus declaring herself the Women's Champion in her own bizarre way..

That's up to you to decide. ;)

According to PWInsider, the WWE Women's Championship title change at the Raw House Show in Paris, France on Tuesday with Mickie James capturing the belt was not a planned angle but rather an error that the company repaired later in the night.

Based on what is known, a mistake took place in the ring between James and Victoria where Victoria was supposed to kick out out of a pinfall when James covered her. WWE held a match later on in the night with Melina defeating James to regain the title. The company did acknowledge the title change on their official website, as we noted earlier today, at this link.

And WWE acknowledges it...

April 24, 2007 - April 24, 2007

WWE fans in Paris saw the Women’s Championship change hands twice on the final night of Raw’s April 2007 European Tour.

First, Mickie James shocked all in attendance when she defeated Victoria and champion Melina in a Triple Threat Match to claim the gold. Later, however, Mr. McMahon’s Executive Assistant, Jonathan Coachman, decided that since Mickie had pinned Victoria and not the champion, Melina was due an immediate rematch.

When the dust settled at the end of that rematch, Melina pinned Mickie with her feet on the ropes to regain the championship. The wins made Mickie a three-time champion and Melina a two-time champion, and also gave Mickie the shortest Women’s Championship reign on record.

And Ash was right on the money...

WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE
by Mike Johnson @ 4:42:00 PM on 4/26/2007


For those who have asked, the recent back and forth WWE Women's championsip title switch to Mickie James and back to Melina in Paris, France was not a planned situation but an error that they later repaired.

During a Three-Way bout with Melina, James and Victoria there was some sort of mistake that ended with Victoria not kicking up as planned when James covered her. WWE then held a rematch with Melina winning the belt back from James later in the house show in order to get the belt back to where it needed to be for their storylines.

WWE acknowledged the title changes on their website, likely because news of the changes had already been widely spread online.

In any event, we've had some readers ask if WWE was looking to give back to the French fans by staging the title change. That wasn't the case, although surprise changes on house shows would be a nice way to give back to fans from time to time.
