This isn't a new title[edit]

https://www.wwe.com/shows/nightofchampions/2023/seth-freakin-rollins-vs-aj-styles-results Read the first paragraph, it continues the lineage 2001:BB8:2003:C:AC59:A77:8439:EEDD (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WWE's title lineage pages establish it is a new title though.

The article states "the stage was set for WWE to crown its first World Heavyweight Champion since 2013". As in the first person to be called the World Heavyweight Champion since 2013, it mentions nothing about carrying the lineage of the former title. Dakota.952 (talk) 22:13, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page name[edit]

Should the name eventually be updated to World Heavyweight Championship (2023)? For now, I have put it as a redirect, but feel it would work better as the actual page name. Zippo9310 (talk) 22:53, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a good idea; since having "New" in the name kinda dates it, especially since the title won't be quote-unquote new in let's say 3 years from now. Dakota.952 (talk) 23:15, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the name should be changed to WWE World Heavyweight Championship (2023-present) or World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002-2013) PedigreeWWEFigz87V2 (talk) 14:01, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LinceOscuroPR I really wish editors would stop uploading these non-free images to Commons. They should just be uploaded Wikipedia itself. JDC808 ♫ 23:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Shouldn't the article name be "World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)"? It makes sense that the previous World Heavyweight Championship article is named "World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002-2013) but I don't think the year is needed for the current titles article. We don't do so for the current WWE Women's Championship. Also the article itself tells the reader that it's a different title so the special name isn't needed in my opinion.

@Speedy Question Mark maybe, perhaps bring this up at the project to get more input. JDC808 ♫ 00:02, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Speedy Question Mark thought I'd follow up. Was sitting on this for a bit but went ahead and pulled the plug and moved the page. JDC808 ♫ 04:14, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
