To address some concerns regarding Arena titles when using Paid Character Transfer service, Blizzard poster Pavonum posted some clarifications about the mechanic in the World of Warcraft forums.

According to Pavonum, Arena titles (like Duelist and Gladiator) “may be lost when transferring a character within realms or accounts”:

This mechanic is currently being examined in greater detail, so that further determination may be made as to whether its current functionality is in line with the design as envisioned by the appropriate developers; we regret to inform you, however, that any titles lost as a outcome of that mechanic are unable to be reinstated or reimbursed by the Game Master office.

For now you may want to avoid the mechanic altogether whether you want to preserve your title. At least until they know what to do with it.
