Why Triple H Didn’t Bring Back The Classic World Heavyweight Championship Belt

Recently fans have seen some major changes to the championships in WWE as several new title belts have been revealed in recent weeks. Triple H unveiled a new WWE World Heavyweight Championship ahead of the 2023 WWE Draft, and Seth Rollins went on to win the belt.

When talk of WWE adding another world title started making the rounds some fans wondered if the Big Gold Belt could be making a return, but a new design was introduced instead. Road Dogg recently shared some insight on Triple H’s approach to the new title belts on his Oh You Didn’t Know? podcast and he indicated that The Game didn’t want to simply copy another belt.

“Hunter has always been a traditionalist from his training with Kowalski to his mentoring by Flair. Everything he’s done has been with respect to tradition in this industry. You can’t just copy another title that was good. You don’t just go, ‘Oh, people loved that one.’ No, you have to be the innovator.”

Road Dogg went on to say that after going through several changes over the years he thinks the new belts have gone back to what a championship title should look like.

“I think we’ve seen now, speaking very currently, is the women’s titles also have done the same thing. So you’re going to have a World champion or WWE Champion or Universal Champion and a world champion. I’m not sure where the names exactly lay now, and is Roman Reigns still ‘undisputed?’ I think things like that are going to come out and are really intriguing to me. It’s all intriguing to me. I love the new titles. They’re huge. They’re beautiful, but yet they’re big and plain too, and I think that’s tradition. Look, we all went the way of the big eagle and the big spinner and the big this and the big that. I think these go back to what a championship title looks like.”
