After a long wait, it seems WWE will finally have a world champion for each brand. Though, there are concerns about where the new belt will end up staying.
On which brand will the newly announced world championship stay?
Before introducing the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Triple H talked about Roman Reigns. The Game noted that The Tribal Chief is on his way to completing 1000 days as a champion. He further went on to mention how Roman’s contract keeps him free from defending the title very often.
Therefore, a new champion will be crowned at the Night of Champions pay-per-view next month. The event is scheduled to take place on 27 May 2023, live from the Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. According to The Game, the new champion will defend his title anytime, anyplace, anywhere around the world.
As to where the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship will stay, Triple H stated after the draft, Roman’s Undisputed Title will stay on one brand and the other one will get the new title. Though, nothing was said about how the new champion is going to be crowned.
