WrestleMania 40 brought significant transformations for WWE stars like Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest, Bayley, Rhea Ripley, and others, and these changes are now reflected officially on the company’s website.
Cody Rhodes achieved a monumental victory by dethroning Roman Reigns to claim the Undisputed WWE Championship. Similarly, Damian Priest seized the opportunity by cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase to conquer Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Furthermore, Judgment Day relinquished their tag team titles, paving the way for Grayson Waller, Austin Theory, and Awesome Truth to become the new split tag team champions.
The shifting terrain of WWE’s top stars necessitated updates to their renders on the website, featuring their respective titles. Notably, Reigns’ render no longer displays his title, marking the first time in four years.
Additionally, Gunther, the Intercontinental Champion, now appears without his title, while Sami Zayn boasts the updated render with the championship. Bayley, Cody Rhodes, and Damian Priest have also received render updates reflecting their championship reigns.
However, the most striking alteration was seen in Rhea Ripley’s case. Following her title surrender on WWE RAW due to injury, WWE opted to replace her with the Vacant render instead of maintaining her as champion until a new one was crowned.
While WWE swiftly announced the process for crowning a new Women’s World Champion after Ripley’s departure, details on the method for determining the new champion were notably absent, leaving fans eager for more information.
It appears that WWE is poised to expedite the process of crowning the new champion without an extensive buildup. The anticipation now lies in whether the title will be awarded to a new contender or if a match will be scheduled to decide the rightful champion.
