James remained a champion for approximately an hour. Later that night, Melina demanded a rematch for the title, claiming she was never pinned down, and went on to defeat James.
After Miz and John Cena won a Tag Team Championship match against The Corre, Wade Barrett announced that The Corre wanted to invoke their rematch clause immediately.

With some intervention from Barrett, Slater managed to pin down Cena to regain the tag team championships for The Corre. Miz and Cena's title reign lasted just around 9 minutes.
In a 2003 episode of "RAW," Chris Jericho won the Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam thanks to co-manager Eric Bischoff distracting the referee.

It led co-manager Steve Austin to intervene and call for an immediate rematch for the title inside a steel cage. Van Dam managed to reclaim the title in just around 8 minutes.
As Reigns was celebrating a WWE Championship victory in the 2015 Survivor Series, Sheamus blindsided him with a Brogue Kick and the Money in the Bank briefcase in hand.

Surprisingly, Reigns kicked out of a pin and even dodged another Brogue Kick, but a third one finally led to his pinfall. He held the title for just 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
After winning his first World Heavyweight Champion title against Edge at Extreme Rules 2009, Jeff Hardy saw CM Punk enter the ring with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
