At WWE “SummerSlam” on Aug. 17, Brock Lesnar defeated John Cena in the main event to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
According to PWInsider.com, a segment will take place later tonight on “Monday Night Raw” involving Lesnar being presented with a new championship belt.
It appears that the World Heavyweight Championship will be abolished, leaving the WWE Championship belt featuring the new company logo.
