Damian Priest could get in the race for the World Heavyweight Championship if he wins at WWE Backlash

On the latest edition of WWE RAW, Triple H came out to make a big announcement. He said that Roman Reigns would get drafted with his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship belts while the other brand would get a new world title of its own.

The Game unveiled the World Heavyweight Championship on the show and announced that the first new champion will be crowned at the Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

Roman Reigns will likely stay on SmackDown following the WWE Draft. That would mean that a star from RAW could win the newly designed title.
