Did You Know that Del Rio vs Christian....

....is only the second time in the WWE that a World Title match is guaranteed to have a first time world champion? The first time was at WrestleMania 4 on March 27, 1988 when Randy Savage defeated Ted DiBiase.

true, but we've had that guarantee on some elimination chambers after the champ had been eliminated

but yeah, i see what you mean....and i'm looking forward to it

This! And I will be live in attendance!

a 1st time WWE World champion, sure... but Christian is already a 2 time World champion (remember his NWA title reigns in TNA?)

How often does the WWE recognize any title reigns that they don't own in their library? None.

And I suppose I SHOULD have known this fact, and probably would have if it had crossed my mind. But it hadn't. Thanks for posting.

I actually give them credit for that. It's a smart move, and if you think about it, they're not the only company to do something like this.
