In an intriguing development, it appears that Seth Rollins, the current holder of the World Heavyweight Championship, will not be connected to the lineage of the previous World Heavyweight Title introduced on WWE TV in 2002.

According to information sourced from WWE's official website, Rollins is heralded as the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion, signifying the retirement of the prior iteration of the esteemed title.



The erstwhile version of the championship made its debut on WWE television with its presentation to Triple H in 2002. This particular belt replicated the iconic "big gold belt" prominently featured on NWA/WCW programming during the late '80s and throughout the '90s.

A notable array of illustrious names such as Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Goldberg, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Batista, and Kurt Angle etched their names in history as holders of the World Heavyweight Title. The current title design is an amalgamation of the Winged Eagle and the WWWF Championship, serving as a tribute to the distinguished aesthetic of the company's golden era and paying homage to the legendary reign of Bruno Sammartino.
