WWE Name On New Title Belts: ‘Triple H Has Always Been A Traditionalist’

WWE

WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events Brian James (Road Dogg) has shared his honest thoughts on the new championship belts introduced.

The company has unveiled several new title belts in recent months.

Triple H showed off a completely new World Heavyweight Championship on the April 24 edition of Raw.

He then presented WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns with a new title on the June 2 episode of SmackDown.

The Raw and SmackDown women’s titles have since been replaced, with Asuka awarded the new WWE Women’s Championship, and Rhea Ripley given the Women’s World Title.

Speaking on the Oh You Didn’t Know podcast, Brian James noted that Chief Content Officer Triple H has always been a fan of all things traditional:

“Hunter (Triple H) has always been a traditionalist from his training with Kowalski to his mentoring by Flair.

“Everything he’s done has been with respect to tradition in this industry.

“So I think these are, but you can’t just copy another title that was good. You don’t just go like, ‘Oh, people love that one.’

“No. You have to be the innovator and now I think we’ve seen, now speaking very currently, is the women’s titles also have done the same thing, so you’re going to have a world champion and a WWE Champion or a Universal Champion and a World Champion.

“I’m not sure where the names exactly lay now and is Roman Reigns still undisputed? I think things like that are going to come out and are really intriguing to me, not as an inside the circle guy, but as a viewer, as a fan, which I’ve tried to do a lot this stint in this specific job, just to watch so I can give you nuances of that on a live event. It’s all intriguing to me.

“I love the new titles. They’re huge, they’re beautiful, but yet they’re big and plain, too, and I think that’s tradition.

“Look, we all went the way of the Big Eagle and the Big Spinner and the big this and the big that. I think these go back to what a championship title looks like.”

At Money in the Bank 2023, Seth Rollins will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor.

Before then, Rollins will put his gold on the line on Monday’s (June 19) edition of Raw, and on the following night’s episode of NXT.
