WWE's Plans For New World Title Unveiled As AJ Styles Advances To Face Seth Rollins In Epic Championship Showdown
BY SACNILK
Following an electrifying episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, AJ Styles emerged victorious in a Triple Threat Match and the subsequent semifinal match against Bobby Lashley. As a result, he has earned the right to face Seth Rollins in a highly-anticipated bout to determine the new World Heavyweight Champion. ## Interestingly, the plans for a new World Title have been in the works for quite some time. As reported by WrestlingNews.co in December, there were initial plans to introduce a new title at WrestleMania, but these plans were ultimately delayed. However, according to exclusive insights shared by insider Twitter account @BoozerRasslin, the idea for a new World Title actually dates back to early September. ## Boozer revealed that the USA Network has been pushing for a new title since the Clash at the Castle show, and that some within the company are unsure about its lineage. While the belt bears a striking resemblance to the World Heavyweight Title that was created for Triple H in 2002, it is being presented as an entirely new title on TV. ## Despite concerns that the new title may be viewed as secondary to Roman Reigns' Undisputed Universal Championship, Boozer offered reassurance to fans, stating that there are "big plans" in place for the new belt. These plans are set to "catapult the title to its original status," with more details to be revealed in the near future. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
