Tonight’s episode of WWE RAW is set to take place in Chicago and is expected to feature numerous WWE Superstars. The show is further heightened by the news that Triple H will be delivering a significant announcement. However, rumors suggest that this revelation may have already been leaked.
Behind Fightful’s paywall, Sean Sapp has reported that rumors are circulating backstage about Triple H’s announcement on RAW. The speculation is that Triple H will introduce a new title into the company. However, this information has not yet been confirmed.
“The backstage is buzzing today about a Triple H announcement on WWE Raw. One widely speculated element is that a new title belt is fully prepared and could be introduced as soon as tonight’s WWE Raw. It hasn’t been specified if it’s a new design, or a completely new title,” noted Sapp.
WWE has not yet returned a request for comment on the matter. With Night of Champions coming up, it could be an opportune time for WWE to introduce a new title into the mix. However, the big question remains – what kind of title will it be and how will the first champion be crowned?
It is possible that the new title belt may simply be a new design. While still exciting, it wouldn’t have the same impact as introducing an entirely new title belt into the WWE picture.
Currently, WWE is in a unique situation with their title belts, as both the singles and tag team titles are unified across two separate brands. Fans have been vocal about their desire for the company to split their titles for some time now. Whether or not WWE will finally address these calls for a split remains to be seen.
The upcoming WWE pay-per-views include Backlash on May 6th in Puerto Rico and Night of Champions on May 27th in Saudi Arabia. These events could potentially feature matches that bring us closer to the announcement of a new champion. As previously reported, the direction of Night of Champions is expected to become clearer after the conclusion of Backlash.
