Triple H Unveils New World Heavyweight Championship – “Triple H” kicked off the second hour of tonight’s WWE RAW to make a “huge announcement.” Corey Graves described it as something that would “rock the foundation of WWE.”
Triple H said that he wants to ensure that WWE is “all that it could be” for generations going forward.
Triple H said that Reigns negotiated into his contract that he would wrestle less and defend his title less often. Reigns siad that he will take the Undisputed Universal Championship with him in the WWE Draft but the other brand will determine a new champion.
On Saturday, May 27 at Night of Champions, a new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned and that person will defend “anywhere, any place, anytime, all over the world.”
Here is a full recap of the segment:
He says as a WWE Superstar, he had the privilege of competing at the highest level for all of you. I had the privilege of standing in this ring in this very arena at Wrestlemania 22 defending the WWE Championship against one of the greatest of all time, John Cena. I have the incredible privilege that WWE will be all that it can be. I am here to talk about Roman Reigns, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion who is coming up on 1,000 days as champion. That is unheard of in the modern era. He has defended the title against a who’s who of superstars. Paul says he cannot think of many who could hang in the ring with Roman because he is that good. Along the way, Roman did something very smart. Anything any intelligent superstar would have done. He did not have to defend the title as frequently. He says he doesn’t blame Roman and while that is great for Roman. That is not great for WWE.
WWE deserves more and you deserve more. You need more than that. That is why he said the draft would change WWE at its very core. When Roman gets drafted to whatever brand he gets drafted to, he will take the Undisputed Championship with him and he will stay there. The other brand will determine a new champion. On May 27th at Night of Champions, we will crown a new World Heavyweight Champion.
Paul unveils the new belt.
He says this will be a champion you can be proud of. A champion you can respect and admire. A champion who will defend this championship anywhere, anyplace, any time, all over the world. This champion will not have to demand your acknowledgment. This champion will earn your acknowledgment and the title of World Heavyweight Champion.
