A few weeks ago Triple H unveiled the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship and announced that a tournament would be held to crown a new champion. Seth Rollins and AJ Styles competed in the finals at Night of Champions last week and in the end it was Seth Rollins who walked out with the gold.
Now that Seth is the champion he’s got a target on his back, and on the most recent episode of Raw he clashed with The Judgment Day. It seems that Seth’s business with The Judgment Day is far from over as it’s been confirmed that he will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest on Raw.

It looks like Raw is shaping up to be a big show as this match will be Seth Rollins’ first televised defense of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
The next few months should be interesting for Seth as it’s rumored that the men’s Money in the Bank winner could be looking to cash in on The Visionary, and you can get more on that here.
