There’s some new reports explaining Triple H’s reasoning for changing the titles, so
we’ll see what’s that about.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with Natalya, Roman Reigns, and more
Let’s start things off with Triple H and the update there
Triple H is just approaching his one year anniversary of taking over WWE creative and
he has done quite a lot in that full year
He brought back many big named superstars, he brought War Games to Survivor Series, he
had his own WWE Draft, and most recently, he quietly upgraded a lot of titles and introduced
new ones
Right around the time of the WWE Draft, Triple H had said that this year’s draft would
completely change the game
And just a few weeks after he made that announcement, he made another reveal and introduced the
brand new WWE world heavyweight championship
There was some confusion early on about the world heavyweight title and if it would continue
the linage of the original world heavyweight title, but that didn’t turn out to be the
case, it’s a brand new world title with no previous history
The story behind that title both on-screen and off-screen was of course related to Roman
Reigns
Initially, it seems like WWE thought putting both world titles on Roman Reigns and having
him appear regularly on both Raw and Smackdown was the best plan ever for everyone to benefit
from
But as Roman’s schedule continued to get more and more limited, it was clear that putting
both world titles on him was a mistake because now both Raw and Smackdown were without a
full time champion and it left a void in the shows
It was reported for months that they were allegedly trying to think of a good way to
split up Roman’s titles without him taking a loss, But nothing ever came from those reports
There were even rumors that one of the ideas was for Triple H to just strip Roman Reigns
of the WWE title on-screen and put it back on Raw, but that didn’t happen either
Instead, they went with the plan to introduce a brand new world title that’s exclusive
to Raw, and allow Roman Reigns to keep his titles
That led us to Triple H revealing Roman’s new undisputed WWE universal title
It’s pretty much the same title design Roman had before, but just with a gold center plate
And at the time of this recording, there’s a report going around that there’s apparently
a serious conversation going on about if WWE will continue to allow Paul Heyman to carry
the original WWE championship and Universal title on his shoulders, while Roman Reigns
walks around with the new titles
Apparently, it’s something that was being considered and talked about, but no one knows
if they will go through with that plan
It may be confusing and misleading to causal viewers because they’ll assume that Roman
Reigns has three titles now, so that may be why it won’t work
Similar to what we saw in 2014, it looks like Roman’s two titles have been combined into
one single title
With the titles being combined, there’s also some confusion going on about what title
linage is continuing and which one is retired
Well reports claim that the original universal title was softly retired there during Triple
H’s reveal of the new undisputed WWE title
But due to Roman’s historic title reign being directly connected to the universal
title, the universal title will continue to be acknowledged until Roman drops the title
Once Roman drops the title, the championship will continue the linage of the original WWE
championship, while the linage of the universal title is most likely to be retired
And Triple H wasn’t done there either
As expected and rumored to happen for a long time now, WWE has done away with branded titles
for the women’s division
No more blue and red women’s titles, their titles now have the same looks and names as
the men’s world titles
The report from sports illustrated claims that Triple H’s main reason for changing
all these new titles was to freshen them up and give them an upgraded look
And a majority of fans seem to really be enjoying the new looks for all the WWE titles
And apparently there’s a chance that more new titles could be on the way with both the
men’s and women’s tag team titles
With WWE going away from the branded titles for the women’s world titles and combining
undisputed titles, many fans are expecting for WWE to do the same thing for men’s tag
team titles
The men’s tag team champions have been carrying around both sets of branded tag team titles
for a long time now
So there’s a big rumor going around there that new titles could be coming in for the
men’s tag team titles that will get rid of the Raw and Smackdown branded titles, and
will only consist of one set of titles for the champions to hold instead of two sets
So a new fresh pair of tag team titles would be a really nice look
The report claims that there’s even rumors for the women’s tag team titles to get an
upgraded look
The women’s tag team titles were only introduced in 2019, so they’re still pretty new, but
apparently they could be getting a new look as well
In other Triple H related news, there was a report out there questioning if this year’s
Survivor Series will be War Games themed again or it will be returning to the Brand supremacy
theme
Well reports claim that WWE and Triple H don’t even know that answer quite yet
They claim that Triple H allegedly plans out two months ahead with his creative process
So it’s way too early for him to know what they’re doing for Survivor Series and he’ll
probably have that answer around September
But that’s the latest on everything Triple H related for the time being
——————————-
WWE has recently begun teasing and hinting at a possible big change for Natalya and her
presentation
Natalya is a long time veteran inside the WWE locker-room, she’s been a part of the
main roster ever since April 2008
Natalya has won the world title before and has had lots of great career defining moments,
but it looks like she can definitely have even more great moments ahead of her
Natalya recently challenged Rhea Ripley for the women’s championship at Night Of Champions
and some fans questioned the match because it wasn’t the most thrilling matchup of
all time
But the match itself was a bit surprising because Rhea Ripley absolutely squashed Natalya
in only a couple of seconds
So even though fans were not really excited for the matchup beforehand and knew Rhea’s
title reign wasn’t really at risk at all, they were still surprised to see Natalya go
down in that fashion
Well it appears that the squash wasn’t just for no reason, it looks like WWE will be using
that embarrassing loss to push Natalya’s character into a whole new place that she’s
never been to before
Natalya took part in a backstage interview on Raw where she spoke about how things have
been different since night of champions, and how being herself never got her anywhere
Natalya followed that Raw interview up on Twitter by tweeting out this message, quote:
“I haven’t been the same since Night Of Champions.
I’ve beaten myself up worse than any one else could ever beat me.
I wish I knew how to turn it all around.”
End quote
that appears to be Natalya’s new direction, she’s tired of getting mistreated, getting
embarrassed, and she feels like it’s only happening because she too nice and being herself
So considering that Natalya is currently a baby-face and she’s talking about how being
nice has been getting her nowhere, we’re to easily assume that this change Natalya
will go through here in the coming weeks will most definitely be a heel turn
We’ve seen Natalya as a heel plenty of times throughout her career, even as most recently
as last year, but it looks like this upcoming heel turn will be completely different even
from her previous heel eras
So keep an eye on Natalya because she can be up to something quite big there
