WWE News: New World Heavyweight Title Introduced

A few weeks on RAW Triple H introduced a new World Heavyweight Title. With Roman Reigns still WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, the company needed a champion on RAW. As they want a fighting champion and a champion that is showing up every week. And with the potential of a brand split (Don’t Do It), thus the creation of a new title belt.

A tournament was held with the new champion being crowned at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. It will be Seth Rollins taking on AJ Styles for the right to be called the first-ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Fans have not been pleased with this introduction of the belt and feel more and more WWE got the decision wrong at Wrestlemania.
