A new World Championship is coming to WWE.
In what was hyped as news that would shake the foundation of WWE, Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced the creation of a new World title on last night's Raw. The title is named the World Heavyweight Championship — and the first champion will be crowned at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 27.
Triple H said Roman Reigns did something very smart by negotiating that he didn't have to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship as frequently as champions normally do. Triple H said that's great for Reigns, but it isn't great for WWE.
When Reigns gets drafted to either Raw or SmackDown, he'll take the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship with him. The World Heavyweight Championship will be the top title on the other brand.
The WWE Draft begins on SmackDown this Friday night and continues on Raw next Monday.
"This will be a champion you can be proud of," Triple H declared. "This will be a champion you can respect, that you can admire. This will be a champion that will defend this championship anywhere, any place, any time — all over the world. This champion will not have to demand your acknowledgement. This champion will earn your acknowledgement and will earn the title of World Heavyweight Champion."
