WWE has plenty of championships right now, with Superstars across the main roster and WWE NXT doing all they can to hold gold. Now, Karrion Kross has an idea for a brand new championship, one that isn’t for the faint of heart!
On Twitter/X, Kross suggested that WWE should produce an Extreme Wrestling Championship, which would be defended under violent stipulations. With No disqualifications and ‘no rules,’ Kross said the only way to win would be pinfall, submission, or knockout.
Kross’ pitch had fans in the comments excited about the prospect of a championship based in extreme wrestling. When a fan suggested that the title could be part of Netflix programming, Kross replied in agreement with “Bingo.” WWE RAW will move to Netflix in January of next year in a lucrative move for WWE’s flagship weekly show.
When a fan asked who’d compete in the tournament, Kross said that the fans would get to decide. Multiple fans tagged WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, showing that they’d love to see the title become a reality.
WWE’s Gimmick Championships
WWE is no stranger to ‘gimmick’ championships, and from 1998 to 2002, the Hardcore Championship allowed those competing for the gold to get downright violent. The title briefly returned to WWE TV in 2006 with Edge and Mick Foley being declared co-owners of the gold, but the title was never officially sanctioned.
More recently, WWE has had unique titles such as the 24/7 Championship, which like its Hardcore predecessor, had to be defended at all times. Currently, WWE has the NXT Heritage Cup which must be defended in specific Heritage Cup rules. Off TV, wrestlers can also compete for the WWE Speed championship which sees short, high-octane action on Twitter/X. Later this month, a tournament will begin to crown the first WWE Speed Women’s Champion.
