Triple H’s latest update on the world heavyweight championship

[Dale]

Both Monday on Raw and Friday on SmackDown, two triple threat matches will be held on each show. The winners of those matches will square off in the main event of those shows to determine the final two competitors for the world heavyweight championship.

That final match to determine the inaugural champion will be held at Night of Champions.​

Fine with me over a traditional tournament, they've done the triple threat gimmick for stuff like this before and it's always pretty entertaining for the TV. Makes sense too with the few weeks between Puerto Rico and Saudi

SmackDown part still weird af to me with how they've explained the title but fucking whatever at this point lol

Like I said a Smackdown star is definitely winning and moving to Raw because WWE loves fuckery like that

Started off with SmackDown guys participating, then they weren't, now they are again

They have done many overly convoluted and pointless things with their title lineages over the years, yes

And Heyman making a point that Roman also wanted the new belt bc he's greedy but he "wasn't allowed to challenge bc he's on smackdown" lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

Why did they hire a dude to be in charge of continuity if they still don't give a fuck lol

 

[Shane]

Instead of just letting all Raw stars compete for the title they rather let SD stars complete and just move them over to Raw if they win lmao. It’s just unreal.

Keep in mind you're also just assuming this (and if a smackdown guy wins I also think you're correct)

But they might also start plugging "omg what happens if so and so wins and brings the title to smackdown"

The final match almost certainly is going to end up Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins, or something to that effect.

That doesn't seem to be possible since it seems like under this format it's for sure a Raw and smackdown guy in the finals

yeah from what I understand reading it, 6 ppl on both shows, 4 3 ways matches, 2 semi finals then the finals at the ppv

 

[Comrade Khan]

cursed booking : the finals is Reigns vs Brock lol

They might say fuck their draft already and have people from Raw in the smackdown triple threat and vice versa too, wouldn't be the first time. I'd doubt it tho

Which is disappointing, but I do believe that’ll be the Raw match. Seth and Cody will win the two Raw triple threats I think.
