To try to make SmackDown seem important.

Yeah but making Kalisto lose the title on the next day

The only positive I can think is that it actually makes those stupid "rematch clauses" mean something, man I hate them.

>>877591
He will win it back on RAW, and then he will lose it back on Smackdown etc etc etc. The final match will be at the Royal Rumble

Best guess is the fact they did it to try to pop a rating for RAW by having a title change, but wanted to keep the belt on Berty... but why. JUST WHY.

>>877585
Because they're building Kalisto as an underdog.
A core part of what makes an underdog is sympathy with the fans.
He finally climbs atop the spire, he gets the crafty win over the vet, he becomes US Champ, he promptly gets his ass kicked back off of it.
They're likely gonna continue the feud through to Wrestlemania with Del Rio just whooping his ass until he gets his retribution and they attempt to firm Kalisto as a new Mexican star.

Glad Kalisto lost. Based Dorito

>WWE this desperate to get people to watch Smackdown that they spoil a title change
kek

No, if you're losing the title on a smackdown then it's clear that WWE doesn't give a flying shit about you.

>>877646
they usually do announce if a title changes hands on smackdown because the dirtsheets and fans already ruin the surprise now with the twittter eve more. .

>>877664
If you can't read WWE booking you're just stupid, lel.

>>877673
WWE hasn't had proper booking since Heymen took over Smackdown

>>877646
Theyve always done this when a title change or something big has happened on SD

>defending WWE booking
>2016

Please watch actual pro wrestling.

This should surprise anyone. Every title in WWE except for the Roman Heavyweight Title is meaningless.
