Yes! Finally! After weeks of calling their main title both the WWE World Heavyweight and WWE Championship, it appears that somebody within WWE has finally made a call on the new name for SmackDown's top belt.

They've done the revolutionary thing of combining the two names they couldn't decide on. It's a stroke of genius. Introducing, the WWE World Championship.

Obviously, getting rid of the 'heavyweight' weight class from the title of the belt makes complete sense when the likes of AJ Styles could be challenging for the belt down the line.

And at the end of the day, it's still an infinity amount better than calling your leading championship the WWE Universal Championship.

That name doesn't get any less silly no matter how many times you've heard it...
