WWE’s new World Heavyweight Championship isn’t a ‘consolation prize‘ as some have claimed, according to Booker T.

The new championship was introduced last month and is WWE’s response to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns’ sporadic schedule.

Many have argued that the title is little more than a consolation prize for a roster that cannot beat Reigns, who is closing in on 1,000 days as champion.

Speaking on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker (a six-time World Champion, rejected the idea. He said,

“I don’t look at it that way. I just don’t, I just can’t, you know, find myself looking at the title being a secondary title or anything like that.

“I think pulling the trigger and separating the championship and making, you know, one brand, one for the other, I think that’s good for everybody.”

Booker recently gave his picks for who he would like to see be crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

On this week’s RAW, Seth Rollins earned a spot in the title match at Night of Champions and will face a representative from SmackDown.
