Seth Rollins reveals why WWE decided to bring back the World Heavyweight Championship

Seth Rollins has been carrying the red brand as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion since May 2023, when he became the inaugural champion. Recently, The Visionary revealed why the company decided to bring back the prestigious title.

Earlier this year, Triple H announced the return of the World Heavyweight Championship with a new design for the current era. Seth Rollins won the title at WWE Night of Champions 2023 after defeating AJ Styles in Saudi Arabia.

The World Heavyweight Championship remains exclusive to Monday Night RAW, where The Visionary is currently surrounded by challengers. Speaking to Complex, Seth Rollins revealed why WWE decided to bring back the World Heavyweight Championship for another run. Check it out:

"It's very important. The World Heavyweight Championship is a new title. Roman had sort of taken over the other two championships and it had been very difficult for the rest of the roster. There was a glass ceiling and the nice thing was we had so many guys pushing at the glass ceiling that we all burst through at the same time and there was the need for a second title." (From 9:50 to 10:12)

It will be interesting to see which star will eventually become the second World Heavyweight Champion of the Modern Era after The Visionary.
