Once everyone started going “oh they’re gonna give Cody this belt” my first thought was “congrats first champ Brock Lesnar”

So what exactly is happening? Is there a tournament for the new belt or did HHH not say?

Only said someone would be crowned on the Night of Champions. Nothing else yet.

That belt looks better than their other ones, but yeah, if you're going to try and replicate the big gold belt just use the big gold belt.

Do a tournament on Raw that builds to Cody winning the final at Night of Champions. As he wins the final, HHH comes out and declares that now he's going to have his match for the belt against Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar murders Cody in about 5 seconds.

Cody winning this new title would be absolutely hilarious. He didn't finish the story, but they wrote him this other, vastly less important story he can finish instead.

lmao all they had to do was bring back the real big gold and everyone would have eaten it up

Seriously... that's all they had to do was just bring back the original title.

And to really just drive the point home on why this is such a good idea, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship share a lineage with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Which is the title that Dusty Rhodes held. So if Cody's whole deal is trying to win the title his dad never held, he could say that his dad held that title and would technically be correct, and still make him go after Roman and the title he has.

So does that mean they've official merged the WWE Title with the universal now too? So not only did they create a novelty belt for Cody to lose but also tossed the lineage of their main title in the garbage for the Universal title....Never change WWE

In fairness, this one is also a main event title. The show Main Event that is.

Also, with Muta going into the HOF this year, how long until we get Roman in Mutoh belt armour?

I think it's supposed to be the same since they called it the World Heavyweight Championship tonight. So I think the idea is them splitting that off and Roman is WWE Universal Champion.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


The only question is which of these would be funnier:

1) Cody fails to win the Loser Fuckface Nerd championship
2) Cody loses the Loser Fuckface Nerd championship to Roman in his first defense.

THREE TIME! THREE TIME!
It's so loving funny that they had Paul come out and give a long speech about how Roman negotiated himself to wrestle less but they still want a champ around so they're just making up a belt. Also, that after the draft Roman will only be on one show, so I guess whatever show he's on will still barely have a champion, but also have the most important champion. What a dingus company.

WWE will never make a good belt again, as long as they feel like the belt has to SCREAM the branding. Every world title needs to have the WWE logo front and center dominating everything else.

Big Gold doesn't put the brand over everything so it can't be used.

Please, this is all I have
It's probably because when they saw pro athletes taking novelty pictures with them they thought they could get extra exposure if their logo was the title and not just a fancy gold belt

It's fitting that the Cody vanity title they made up out of thin air has the same lineage as the vanity title they made up out of thin air to give HHH back in the day.

lol not only did they make a title that's uglier than the new NJPW title, but it blows all other ugly titles out of the water. also double lol that they had to make Cody a new championship for him to win so they don't have to have Roman drop one of his two titles to complete the story.

Exceptional work. I have seen three thousand inspiring movies and this is better than all of them put together.

As I don't bother watching it, did HHH actually engage with Roman having 2 belts at all? is he exlusive to smackdown now? is the new belt exclusive?

roman needs two belts because he's both tribal chief and head of the table

if the tribe chooses a new chief or someone adds another chair to the table then he will have to relinquish one of those belts

this is canon

He basically said the Roman is the best wrestler they’ve ever had so he was able to negotiate barely ever having to wrestle, but the fans deserve to have a champion that actually is there. So Roman will take his belts to whatever show he’s drafted to and will be exclusive to it, and this belt will be for the other show.

Absolutely incredible that this is the kayfabe explanation

They care enough about the fans for each brand to have its own champion, but not enough to convince the best wrestler in the history of the promotion to work full-time

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

So, one brand is gonna have Roman the most specialest boy of all time, who's never around and never does anything.

And the other brand is gonna have one of the losers who couldn't beat the specialest boy of all time carrying around the "at least you tried" belt, but hey, at least he's here every week.

Is it just me or does this seem like a VERY BAD IDEA?
