Air Boom loses tag titles to Epico and Primo at WWE house show in Oakland

by Geno Mrosko on Jan 15, 2012 7:23 PM EST in WWE

WWE released the above video on YouTube a short time ago showing Epico and Primo celebrating winning the tag team titles from Air Boom at a house show in Oakland, California, today (Sun., Jan. 15, 2012). Normally, if a title change happens at a house show, they'll just switch it back at the next one and no one is the wiser by the time Raw and Smackdown come around.

But there is no house show between now and then. Raw is tomorrow night.

This is, of course, further punishment to Evan Bourne (and Kofi Kingston by association) for his taking issue with the way WWE handled doling out suspensions for violation of the Wellness Policy recently with R-Truth and Bourne, respectively.

I suppose tomorrow night we'll get a video on Raw explaining the switch. As usual, we'll have the Raw live blog with coverage of everything that goes down, so stay tuned.

After the jump is footage of the finish at the house show in Oakland. HT to Arda Ocal and MrRondo87 on YouTube.

I wonder if they did it to try & get more people to house shows? I can’t complain about the new champs though because it means we get to see Rosa more

I agree with both points. I like title switches at house shows.. it makes it more realistic. I think that WWE should do that more, have house show results on the tv shows.

ROH just did a whole episode doing the longest match in modern history, the 88 minute 8 man elimination tag match. They cut it down & it was really good.

And more Rosa is a great thing.

I don't see what's so special about her

She’s not ugly or anything, but…

Does she?

Up top in the front, she uses a lot of…uh…things that bestow extra lift, so…

Oh come on!

“Punishment” is no excuse for doing this! You have TV! You have pay-per-views! If you’re going to humiliate Kofi and Evan, at least do it where you’ll actually make money! [/businessman snark]

Time to spread a little chaos...
