Dodgyknees Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 So they are going back to having two belts, with Roman keeping the two he has after the draft. Whatever show he doesn’t end up on gets the belt below. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they're brimming with World Title worthy superstars at the moment like the original brand split in 2002. I'm guessing they may be doing this so Roman can go on a Sammartino style record reign without too much fan backlash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original WWE 'World Heavyweight Title' introduced in 2002 was the old WCW Big Gold Belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an awful booking decision, anyone that takes the title cant say the beat reigns and therefore its diminished. Only way i can see it working is someone who hasn't faced reigns in his run wins it, but i think he's been through everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Somebody SHOULD have defeated Reigns, the whole situation has been handled badly. But I love that this new belt doesn’t look like one made by an 8 year old on cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have two belts than reigns just beating absoultely everyone I think reigns will go raw and rollins will go SD keeping them apart as can see that main eventing WM next year. If you look at raw rhodes, lashley rollins could all be champions there. What also makes it exciting is when MITB happens there is two champs they can go for. The current reigns dominating has killed wwe. Thank god they are beinging back a second title (this one looks incredible btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Btw, maybe unpopular, but I rewatched the Bloodline story (see below for part 2) and I forgot how good it has been and how much I really REALLY want Jey to be the man to dethrone Roman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Nah, 1 top title should represent the pinnacle of the industry/company like it did in the WWF's glory days. I would absolutely piss myself if Roman rocks up at Night of Champions though and add the World Heavyweight to his collection. Has even Vinnie Mac got the grapefruits for that level of trollery?

GarethRDR Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Looks like £1500 for ringside seats, £400 for the next rung up, and then into somewhat more "affordable" territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also donned a white leather one too at some stage and then a lavender/purple version which was when he lost the title to Slaughter at Rumble '91. Just out of interest, why were you not a fan of the Warrior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a bit easier to stomach if Roman wasn’t such a part time champ and looking at wrestling even less. You can’t sustain 2 shows (one being 3 hours long) every week without the main belt ever being contested. I honestly don’t know why you wouldn’t just have him drop one belt to Cody at mania and then redesign that one though regardless I hope they put the new big gold on Seth, he’s too good to be dicking around with the Logan Paul’s of the world (as frustratingly talented as Paul undeniably is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
