| 0:00.0 | It's 2023, the World Heavyweight Championship is back in WWE and one of Seth Rollins, |
| 0:06.0 | or AJ Styles is going to walk away with it at night of Champions 2020. So, |
| 0:11.6 | what better time to revisit some big gold lore from the former Big Gold belt? |
| 0:17.8 | I'm Andy from WhatCulture, and you are 10 things WWE wants you to forget about the World Heavyweight |
| 0:24.3 | Championship. Number 10, its name is still on the WWE Championship. You know how the World Heavyweight |
| 0:32.3 | Championship until recently hadn't really been a thing for like a decade? Well, what is that |
