WWE Championship (New-WWE)

The WWE Championship is a main event title in New-WWE. Originally exclusive to the Raw brand, superstars of either brand were allowed to compete for it starting in the middle of season 6. However, following the return of the brand extension in Season 10, the title became exclusive to Smackdown after John Cena was drafted there during his title reign. It was unified with the World Heavyweight Championship at the start of Season 9, ending the World Heavyweight Championship's lineage, and the title was referred to as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship until the announcement of the brand extension's return in Season 10. The first WWE Champion in the CAW adaptation of New-WWE was John Cena. The current champion is Finn Bálor, who is in his first reign as champion. Only Daniel Bryan has the longest reign, while TRS has the shortest. In weight class, Chris Johansen is the heaviest champion, while Connor Wine is the lightest champion.
