Championship Scramble Match

The Championship Scramble Match is a unique, timed stipulation match involving five wrestlers.

Match Structure

• Participants: Five wrestlers compete, with the match beginning with two of them in the ring.
• Entry Intervals: Every five minutes, an additional wrestler enters the match:
  • The third wrestler enters after 5 minutes.
  • The fourth wrestler enters after another 5 minutes.
  • The fifth and final wrestler enters after another 5 minutes.
• Match Duration: Once all five wrestlers have entered, the match continues for an additional 5 minutes, totaling a 20-minute duration.

Rules and Objectives

• Championship at Stake: The match typically involves a single title, often the top championship.
• Temporary Champion: Any wrestler can become the "temporary champion" by scoring a fall (pinfall or submission) on any other participant, not necessarily the current champion. This status is maintained until another wrestler scores a fall, transferring the temporary champion status.
• Pinfalls and Submissions: Falls can be scored at any time, even before all participants have entered the match.
• Match Conclusion: At the end of the 20 minutes, the wrestler who holds the temporary champion status (having secured the last fall) is declared the winner of the match and the official champion.
• No DQ or Count-Out: The match does not include disqualifications (DQ) or count-outs.

Origin and Usage

The Championship Scramble Match was introduced by WWE at the Unforgiven 2008 pay-per-view and is used exclusively within WWE.

The Championship Scramble Match adds a dynamic layer of unpredictability and excitement, as the championship status can change multiple times throughout the match, leading to a dramatic finish.
