Corey Graves Believes That The New WWE World Heavyweight Champion Has To Prove They’re Equal To Roman Reigns

It’s going to be a tough and long road, but Corey Graves believes it’s needed to prove both world champions can be equal to each other.

Graves gave his thoughts on a recent episode of “WWE After The Bell” and dissected the workload that the new world champion will have for the future.

“I think it’s exciting to have that championship back because it gives ‘Raw’ and ‘SmackDown’ both the opportunity to identify themselves as separate, strong, complete brands,” Graves said

“But with the introduction or reintroduction of the World Heavyweight Championship comes an epic workload,” Graves explained. “Until somebody beats Roman Reigns, there will always be a perception that any other champion, any other superstar, is slightly less than. So the onus is on whoever becomes World Heavyweight Champion at Night of Champions to put in the work.”

“It is now on your shoulders to prove that you are not less than Roman Reigns, you are just different than Roman Reigns because you are on a different branded show.”

Graves noted that no matter who wins, the real work begins once the new champion is crowned.
