WWE planning for popular RAW Superstar to win the World Heavyweight Championship - Reports
WWE has introduced a new world title into the fold and effectively shaken up the entire roster landscape, with many stars looking to capture the prize. However, a new report has revealed that Triple H has already chosen a top star to win the new World Heavyweight Championship.
After a year of top titles in WWE being caught in a chokehold by Roman Reigns, the Chief Content Officer unveiled a new world title for many stars to fight for on a recent episode of RAW. The belt is set to go to whichever brand the Tribal Chief isn't drafted to in the new draft picks for this year.
Wrestlevotes via GivemeSport has now reported that WWE has a 'leading candidate' in mind for the new title in the form of Seth Rollins. The news source stated that Rollins has quite a high chance of winning the top prize going into Night of Champions on May 27.
It was also noted that Cody Rhodes might not be involved in the proceedings to win the World Heavyweight Championship because he still has his targets set on Roman Reigns.
He's the guy.
Keep Cody chasing Roman.

The report further noted that if a swerve could occur, then an outside-of-the-box pick to win the World Heavyweight Championship that has been mentioned is Shinsuke Nakamura, which could help restore his former shine.
But for now, the 'Ace of WWE' is viewed internally as the top pick to win the new top title.
WWE Universe wants Seth Rollins to become the first World Heavyweight Champion
Seth Rollins has already made it clear to everyone about his mission to become the top player again in the company. The Architect cut a tense and direct promo on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW as he took shots at Roman Reigns for not being a fighting champion.
This fiery promo had fans convinced that Seth Rollins is the only viable option to be the first World Heavyweight Champion as the Chicago crowd chanted "you deserve it" for him.
Many WWE fans took to social media urging Triple H to pull the trigger and make Seth Rollins a world champion again after four long years.
