Following the unveiling of WWE’s new Universal Championship at SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan announced on Tuesday afternoon that two new championships will be introduced on tonight’s SmackDown Live.
It's a #NewEra for #SDLive and a new era needs NEW Championships! Tonight @shanemcmahon & I will debut TWO new titles exclusive to #SDLive!

Based on recent statements made by the SmackDown General Manager, it’s safe to assume that these will be the SmackDown women’s and tag team titles.
WWE.com’s official SmackDown preview questions if Bryan introducing the new titles could somehow be a response to Brock Lesnar’s destruction of Randy Orton at SummerSlam. The preview also teases that the new champions could be determined at Backlash, the blue brand’s first exclusive PPV scheduled for September 11th.
Reddit user @Dvizzle, who has previously provided accurate information about WWE belts, noted earlier today that SmackDown’s tag titles will have a new design (different than the RAW titles) and the SmackDown women’s championship will be white leather with blue behind the logo. He added that Dean Ambrose is also getting a WWE Championship with blue swoosh and blue behind the WWE logo.
