What happens if you don’t get a promotion?
If it doesn’t pan out your best bet may be to take the promotion, get that title change and start job searching. One of my promotions way back cost me about 20% of my take-home pay, as I went from below manager (and got loads of overtime pay) to a manager with a better salary, but no overtime.

What’s the difference between a raise and a pay cut?
But the promotion I was offered included a jump to $19.00 an hour, but was salary. On the one hand, that’s a $4.50 raise, all at one time. But, it also meant, to me, a likely pay reduction, or at least a breaking even. If you’re talking about a pay cut of a few thousand dollars annually, then you probably should take it.
