>>50143353You saying that makes me sure that there was no champion in place, I know that when you beat Lance initially, he's like "Congrats! You're the Champion! Or you would be, if someone else didn't beat you to it".
So I think you just need to beat the E4 to be the Champ, and the Champion title match only happens if the seat is unavailable, otherwise you just get the Champ title like Blue did.
