Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that Roode would the belt during the tapings in Bethlehem, Pa. and that the episode in which he defeated Lashley will air on Spike TV on Oct. 29 if the company taped the episodes in order. That episode will air after Bound For Glory on Oct. 12 in Tokyo.
Kurt Angle served as the special guest referee for that match, which served as the main event for the show. The match was reportedly dominated by Lashley, but the ending saw Angle take two bumps and then stop Lashley from using the belt as a weapon. Angle counted the pin on Lashley and Roode was crowned champion.
