The "i'm invoking my rematch clause" on the next night on Monday Night Raw angle

The Volt

I really wish WWE would give this stunt up. It's so predictable that no one wins these matches clean. Strange how Sheamus didn't have a rematch clause after Elimination Chamber though. Seriously, they pay these writers? :pac:

Who looks after continuity?

It should only be of they held the belt for 90 days or more then they get one.

BTW the plan was to have Sheamus vs Cena for the number 1 contenders spot on the Raw straight after EC but Sheamus picked up a concussion so they had to give it straight to Cena instead.

yeah but that'd be too sensible I suppose. Has anyone except Austin (v Kane) actually even won it back under those circumstances?

Agreed, it's an extremely lazy way to book a rematch. It's also how WWE "explained" how Cena/Orton wrestled for two ice-ages last year (the belt kept switching hands, therefore "requiring" a re-match) :mad::mad:

It's also having a match for the sake of it, not to further the feud, just to lengthen it, because they have nothing else planned/laid out.

It does makes sense though in reality. If you were a champion, be it in any sport or competition, and you lost a title, wouldn't you want a re-match as soon as possible?

And as soon as possible in the WWE is usually on Raw the next night.

Its also a guarantee that the challenger has no chance of winning the rematch if it is on TV.

I hate the way it belittles the title. It adds that bit extra to the belts meaning nothing eg Cena before F4W- "Doesn't matter if I lose the title, I gets a rematch!"
Cena after F4W - *skipping merrily around the place* "I lost the title! but I don't have a frown, sure I'll get a rematch in a few minutes Tralaladede"

I seem to have wandered into a land where those rematches happen the next night more often than them getting denied and happening at the PPV instead.

To be fair, Sheamus suffered a concussion at EC, so he wasn't cleared to wrestle the following night.
