" title shot = A shot at the title It means he has a chance to enter and win a title match. Boxing and wrestling titles are awards like "World Heavyweight Champion" When a basketball player takes a shot at the basket, he throws the ball towards the basket, hoping that it will go through the hoop. That scores points which can win a game.

It means he would have the opportunity to fight for the title (e.g. world champion, national champion, or whatever it is), probably by fighting against the existing title holder.
