Rollins’ Reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion Faces First Challenge

Following his triumphant victory at Night of Champions, Seth Rollins has ascended to the pinnacle of WWE as the World Heavyweight Champion. With this prestigious title comes a wave of attention, and it appears that the first contender is ready to step into the ring.

Previously, we reported on Rollins taking a jab at Roman Reigns’ light travel schedule. However, Reigns has yet to respond to Rollins’ provocation.

In a bold move, Rollins issued an open challenge for his newly won World Heavyweight Championship. His statement was as audacious as it was clear:

“My man @WWEBigE was the last defender of the crown…..in November 2021?!?? Let’s change that. Open Challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship is officially LIVE for THIS Monday night in Hartford! Line ’em up!”

However, Damian Priest, a member of Judgment Day, is ready to answer the call. Priest sent a message to Rollins, accompanied by a brief video and a succinct caption that underscored his intentions:

“#AndNew”

Judgment Day is riding a wave of momentum, and Damian Priest is in a prime position to challenge Rollins. The stage is set for an exciting showdown with Priest apparently being the first to answer Rollins’ open challenge.

As always in WWE, the future is unpredictable. While Rollins is expected to defend his title fiercely, only time will tell how this situation will unfold. Will Rollins manage to retain his championship, or will Priest’s momentum lead to a new reign?

My man @WWEBigE was the last defender of the crown…..in November 2021?!??

Let’s change that.

Open Challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship is officially LIVE for THIS Monday night in Hartford!

Line ‘em up! #RAW@WWE @USANetwork
