The World Heavyweight Championship Tournament started this past Monday night with a bang as Seth “Freakin” Rollins emerged from two brutal matches to be the first confirmed contender for the new title at WWE Night of Champions. This Friday, the chance to face The Visionary to become world champion is up for grabs with two Triple Threat Matches with the winners going on to face each other in the main event. Edge, Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles are no stranger to being world champions. Combined, the trio have won 16 world titles in WWE, with The Rated R-Superstar boasting 11 world championships. The history among all three men is one for the record books with The Rated R-Superstar and The Master of the 619 holding tag gold together whilst also battling each other on many memorable occasions. Edge and Styles settled their issues recently with a pair of unforgettable matches last year at WrestleMania 38 and WrestleMania Backlash. Mysterio and Styles have also clashed in the past for the United States Title. The three Superstars, however, have never shared a ring together. With the stage set for a star-studded Triple Threat Match, who will emerge to face the winner of the other Triple Threat Match between Bobby Lashley, Sheamus and Austin Theory? You do not want to miss the continuation of the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament on SmackDown, this Friday at 8/7 C on FOX!
