Mar 28, 2023
WWE considered bringing back a popular championship belt in 2022.
According to BeltFanDan, the Big Gold belt that was used as the World Heavyweight Championship in WCW and WWE was pitched as a replacement for the Universal Title in early 2022 but WWE ultimately didn't press ahead with the pitch.
BeltFanDan tweeted: "Since I'm being asked: I haven't heard anything recent about a new WWE belt. Early 2022 I heard the Big Gold was pitched as Universal replacement. + Vince wanted a new unified belt for WM 40. I haven't heard anything in a very long time but could be I'm out of the loop."
The tweet follows reports that WWE have produced a new world title belt that could debut at any time. It has been noted in recent weeks that the Undisputed WWE Universal Title will be split by SummerSlam and Triple H isn't a fan of the Universal Title, leading to speculation that the belt will be replaced.
Roman Reigns is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and he will defend the belts against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 on Sunday, April 2.
