10 New Directions After WWE Draft 2016
8. A New Title On Raw
Stephanie McMahon may have drafted the Women’s, United
States, and Tag Team Champions, but she managed to miss out on the big one. With
Seth Rollins losing to Dean Ambrose—and Ambrose being drafted to SmackDown—Raw doesn’t
have a world champion right now.
Of course, Rollins may win back the title at Battleground this weekend, as might Roman Reigns once he’s returned from his suspension. But failing that, addressing the lack of a world title belt is something that has to be top of Stephanie’s to-do list.
The simplest course of action would be to reintroduce the old World Heavyweight Championship. From there, they could have Rollins and Reigns—as number one contenders—do battle for the vacant title, or maybe they could stage a good old-fashioned tournament to determine the worthiest winner. Or, god forbid, they could just award the title to Rollins, like they did with Triple H 14 years ago.
Luckily there are plenty of options at their disposal, but one way or another Raw needs to determine a new champion to anchor the brand.
