Triple H just made the "World Heavyweight Championship Tournament" official.
Ahead of WWE Backlash tomorrow, May 6, Saturday, the WWE Creative Head confirmed at a press conference that the road to earning the World Heavyweight Championship Belt won't come so easy.
According to the King of Kings, the May 8 episode of Monday Night RAW, the very first one after WWE Backlash, will host two Triple Threat matches. The winner of each one will then face off against each other. The same thing will happen on the May 12 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. The RAW and SmackDown winners will then go on to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship belt on Saturday, May 27, at the Night of Champions.
Unfortunately, the pre-Backlash press conference didn't have a Q&A portion. So, journalists in attendance couldn't ask the Cerebral Assassin about the participants of the Triple Threat matches.
More importantly, why is the WWE holding the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament for both brands? Didn't the WWE introduce the new belt for RAW?
