The Game, Triple H, had a surprise for the fans on Raw. He entered the ring and unveiled the new World Heavyweight Championship belt. The new champion will be crowned at the Night of Champions PLE.

The next PLE after Backlash will be Night of Champions, which will take place on May 27. Triple H also assured the fans that the new champion would be different from Roman Reigns. Hunter also added that fans would no longer have to see a single man hold all the titles and the new champion will be on a different brand than Roman Reigns.

Triple H said the following, “On Saturday, May 27th at Night of Champions, we will crown a new World Heavyweight Champion. This will be a champion you will be proud of. Also, 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 acknowledgment. This champion will earn your acknowledgment and will earn the title of World Heavyweight Champion. Thank You.”

It is a clear-cut indication that WWE is planning to add some freshness to the product. There are so many potential candidates for the title that it is hard to predict who may win it.

Fans may see anyone from Raw, SmackDown, or even NXT. It is also worthwhile to note what the new title would mean for the future of Roman Reigns. The WWE Draft is also set to take place soon, and with this announcement, fans are going wild. Watch Triple H’s announcement here:
