The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) universe is about to have a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has devised a massive strategy to bring back the historic World Heavyweight Championship. “A new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned” during the Night of Champions, according to WWE. The premium live pay-per-view event is set for May 27 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The surprising piece of information was disclosed on Tuesday by WWE’s official Twitter handle. “Who will be the NEW World Heavyweight Champion on May 27 at WWE Night of Champions,” WWE tweeted.
Roman Reigns, on the other hand, is on the verge of accomplishing something extraordinary. Reigns will be the worldwide champion for the next 1000 days. In August 2020, Reigns began his second reign as Universal Champion.
WWE had already proposed a new moniker for the event, King & Queen of the Ring, for the following month. The return of the King and Queen of the Ring was expected for the first time since October 2021. However, the relocation did not happen, and WWE chose to resurrect the Night of Champions. From 2008 through 2015, WWE held an annual pay-per-view event called the Night of Champions.
