Backstage update on new WWE ID Championship (Exclusive)

The WWE ID Championship recently made its way to the internet. Triple H introduced the new title belts in the Elimination Chamber: Toronto lead-up. The first-ever Men and Women ID Champions will be crowned via a tournament.

During a recent episode of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes provided an update on the new WWE ID Championship. The wrestling insider noted that the latest titles could be exclusive to the independent circuit.

"Yeah, I'd be surprised if they weren't defended on the independent circuit. You know, every Friday and Saturday night, you could have the title up for grabs. It would draw a big house wherever that match is taking place, and then you could put it over on your social media, too. So I'd expect this title to be defended a lot off of WWE TV, but I think that's the point of it, so I hope it goes well." [From 07:16 onwards]

The WWE ID Championship announcement seemingly got Cody Rhodes' attention as well. The American Nightmare took to social media to share his reaction to the latest title belts. Fans will have to wait to see how the promotion will book their new titles.

About the author

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
