Report: Why WWE Introduced New Title Belts Revealed

WWE's post-WrestleMania 39 booking has seen a refresh of a number of the company's title belts.

Triple H first unveiled the World Heavyweight Championship, reasserting the brand split in the process, as the new belt was established as the top championship on Monday Night Raw. Seth Rollins then became the inaugural champion, defeating AJ Styles in a tournament final at Night of Champions on May 27.

The new belts have only kept coming since then. Roman Reigns has been presented with an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship belt, replacing the WWE and Universal belts he had been carrying to the ring. Asuka was also given the WWE Women's Title, replacing the Raw Women's Championship, before Rhea Ripley's SmackDown Women's Title was replaced with the Women's World Championship.

According to Sports Illustrated, there has been so much upheaval on WWE TV as Chief Content Officer Triple H "wanted to freshen up all the titles and present a new look."

If there are plans to introduce any more new title designs is unknown. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens remain Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, with the titles represented by both the Raw and SmackDown tag team championship belts. The Intercontinental Championship, meanwhile, underwent a redesign in 2019 and the United States Title received a refresh in 2020.
