People were excited about a new Championship when WWE presented Braun Strowman with a brand new title belt after winning the Greatest Royal Rumble.
However, it appears that there was a strong reason why the company didn’t introduce the new belt before the show as they never intended to use it on the main WWE Programming.
As seen on this week’s episode of Raw, Braun came out two times during the show but he wasn’t holding the title during either of his appearances.
The company had also announced that the Monster Among Men will be bringing the Greatest Royal Rumble Championship belt and trophy to Raw in Montreal.
However, while the giant trophy was displayed in the arena, it was noted that the green coloured belt introduced just a few nights ago was nowhere to be found.
If that wasn’t enough, they have now also deleted an earlier tweet about Braun Strowman’s match at Backlash which featured a graphic of him holding the title belt. The deleted tweet can be seen in the screenshot below:
Seeing all this, the logical conclusion is that the company either never intended to use the new green belt on their programming as a regular title or they had plans which have since been nixed.
Either way, it’s safe to say that the absence of the Greatest Royal Rumble Championship will definitely hurt the relevance of the match and the event as a whole.
