Speculation On WWE Retiring World Title Belt

Cena - Flair - RAW - World Title Belt

 

 

Last night on RAW before the main event, WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena met Ric Flair on the stage & let him raise the World Heavyweight Title belt( the big gold one) in the air. Cena then told Flair to keep it & Flair left with it.

There is speculation that WWE has retired the World Heavyweight Title belt.

Since Randy Orton became the first WWE World Heavyweight Champion, WWE has persisted with the champ carrying around two belts.

It hasn’t been confirmed if WWE has retired the belt. WWE has made no mention of the belt’s status.

The Wrestling Observer tells us that we will not be disappointed. Sting WILL appear on RAW tonight according to the newsletter. However, it may not be in the way we think.

A vignette for his debut or for the video game featuring him will be on the show. The Observer also claims that Sting may appear via satellite to do a promo of sorts. That is huge for fans. Sting is currently the number one trend on Twitter.

Jim Ross Knows The “Sting” Secret For Tonight’s Raw…. But He’s Not Telling

Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website. Regarding tonight’s “Sting” related teaser he said the following….

The questions that I get regarding the @Sting Tweet of 7-14-14 are often times comical. Some fans feel compelled that they MUST know what is going to occur tonight on RAW. Yes, I know but I’m not in the Don Jardine business so my suggestion is to simply watch RAW and find out for yourself. No matter what occurs, many will b—h tomorrow that it wasn’t what they wanted.

The first step of whatever Sting may or may not do with WWE begins tonight on RAW and where it ends is anyone’s guess. For me, it’s a no brainer but I’m arguably biased. Sting will be on the Ross Report podcast on Tuesday July 29.
