For those who missed RAW, Chris Jericho defeated Batista in a World Title Steel Cage match to end RAW. He'll face John Cena at Survivor Series for the title. I'm guessing the reason they took the title off Batista this fast is because they didn't want to do a Cena vs. Batista rematch this early at Survivor Series.
