Hand It Over: Title Change Takes Place This Weekend

History has been made! There are a lot of titles to be won in the wrestling world and some of them are a little less than traditional. With so many championships out there, it is easy to find one on the line at almost any time, even if they are not taking place on a show from the company that promotes the title. That is the case again here, as a title change took place this week.

This weekend, Rich Swann defeated Matt Cardona to become the new Impact Wrestling Digital Media Championship. The title change took place at the Wrestling Revolver event in Las Vegas, Nevada, though Swann did not leave with the title. Following the loss, Cardona grabbed the title and ran to the back with it instead of handing it over to Swann. The title change ends Cardona’s reign at 114 days after he won the title on the February 3 Impact Wrestling.

Opinion: The more I think about the Digital Media Title, the more I tend to like the concept. It is basically the modern version of the Television Title and that is something that has bene lacking in wrestling for a long time now. Swann is someone with enough of a resume that he brings value to the title and whoever takes it from him will look like a bigger star. The loss could also lead to some interesting places for Cardona, so this should be an interesting change of pace.

What do you think of the title change? How will Swann do as champion? Let us know in the comments below.
