Another Surprising Challenger For WWE World Heavyweight Championship Revealed

WWE

A future World Heavyweight Championship feud has potentially been revealed following a title match that took place during WWE’s European tour.

WWE has several shows in the UK this week, with the company already visiting Birmingham, England on Wednesday and Cardiff, Wales on Thursday.

Thursday’s event featured a surprising title match, with Damian Priest defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Xavier Woods.

Priest was ultimately victorious, retaining the title he won at WrestleMania 40.

This comes after Kofi Kingston unsuccessfully challenged for Priest’s gold at Wednesday’s house show.

As WWE sometimes uses house shows to test out certain match types or rivalries before bringing them to TV, there has been some speculation about a potential New Day vs Judgment Day feud on TV surrounding the World Heavyweight Title.

Priest won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40, cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre shortly after McIntyre had won the gold from Seth Rollins.

McIntyre had also been beaten down by CM Punk, who McIntyre had taunted following his title win.

The results from Thursday’s WWE house show in Cardiff, Wales can be viewed below:

– Becky Lynch def. Piper Niven

– Ricochet def. JD McDonagh

– Jey Uso def. Drew McIntyre

– Damian Priest (c) def. Xavier Woods – World Heavyweight Championship

– Natalya & Tegan Nox def. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark

– Sami Zayn (c) def. Chad Gable, Finn Balor, GUNTHER – Intercontinental Championship

– Cody Rhodes (c) def. Shinsuke Nakamura – Undisputed WWE Championship

Former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has now been spotted for the first time following WrestleMania, which you can read more about right here.
