Normally, when a new title is awarded after two titles get unified, the old titles vanish. But in this case, the story could be different. Reports from Sports Illustrated suggest that Roman Reigns would carry the new title but the two previous titles would still be held by the Special Counsel Paul Heyman and they would not vanish.
There had been strong rumours that famous WWE faction Imperium would be given a new member. According to previous reports from WRKD Wrestling, former WWE NXT United Kingdom Champion Ilja Dragunov was the favorite to join the faction and would make it a four man stable.
