For those that don't know, Hulk Hogan defended the title against Andre the Giant. Ted Dibiase paid the referee to screw Hulk out of the title and Andre gave the title to Red afterwards. Ted was recognized as the WWE champion immediately afterwards and even defended it once. retroactively this was never counted as a title reign, but Andre's was.

Ted Dibiase always had Virgil around helping him cheat so seems fair.

The referees decision when Andre beat Hogan was never reversed but Andre selling the title Ted was never offically allowed. That's the best explanation I can think of.

That is the explanation they went with.

Andre won the belt in a contest. Andre's forfeiture was recognized as relinquishing the belt, but forfeiting it specifically to Ted DiBiase was not recognized.

Why have him work house shows with it though? Did they always plan to strip it or did they decide to change course at some point?

Andre won the match. Dirty as hell, but he did win. DiBiase just straight up paid for it and no way do titles change hands like that under Jack Tunney.
