Could WWE witness the addition of new title belts after the official merger? What we know so far

This week's WWE RAW was the last episode of the Vince McMahon era. On Tuesday, the Stamford-based promotion completed its merger with the UFC, under the name TKO Holdings. This merger is a significant step for the future of both promotions.

Back in March 2021, Endeavor Group purchased WWE for a whopping $9.3 billion. The amount shows the success Vince McMahon achieved, considering he once purchased the promotion for $1 million. Now that the merger has happened, many wonder if the Stamford-based promotion will add new title belts.

As of now, it seems the promotion won't be adding title belts. There are no specific details on the same. However, given the fact that WWE will do what is best for business, it will not be a surprise to see a new championship being introduced down the line. After all, WWE had done the same on multiple occasions in recent times.

While the Stamford-based promotion has shown no signs of introducing a new belt, a custom-made belt was unveiled after the merger was completed, to celebrate the occasion. The custom-made belt was unveiled in the presence of Vince McMahon, Triple H, Dana White, and several others.
