Just days ahead of WrestleMania 39 it has been revealed that Triple H could be about to introduce a brand new World Championship.
On March 21st it was reported that Triple H considered scrapping the Universal Championship. The report stated that The Game “doesn’t like” the belt and even considered replacing it with the old “Big Gold” World Heavyweight Championship.
Interestingly, it seems that WWE has commissioned the making of a new championship belt and it’s ready to be introduced on television.
The report from Wrestle Votes via GiveMeSport states that while details around the belt are uncertain, it does exist and could be used immediately.
“There’s a new belt. I don’t know for sure if it’s getting a new name. I don’t know if one of the titles is going away, but there’s a new belt that WWE has had made and the decision-makers have approved. Like, if they wanted to introduce it on TV tomorrow, they could. Those boxes are checked.”
Triple H Open To Splitting WWE’s World Titles
In recent months there have been a number of reports that WWE wants to split its World Championships. At present both the WWE Championship and Universal Title are held by Roman Reigns.
The Tribal Chief won the Universal Title back in August 2020, before adding the WWE Title at WrestleMania 38. The Universal Championship was introduced in August 2016, with Finn Balor becoming the inaugural champion.
Reigns is the longest-reigning champion in the title’s history having held it for a staggering 939 days and counting.
