• Keep - At this point I have
  WP:DOUBT as to whether or not there will be notability, so I tend to lean toward keep in those situations. There is no harm in leaving it and nominating it once we see how things play out. Although not on the listed atop of the superstar pages with the other championships, this is a new belt so not sure how they will treat it. Judge by the belt's actual page [1], the WWE appears to consider this a current title. - Galatz^Talk 10:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

Potential notoriety in the future is not a keep criteria,

WP:CRYSTALBALL would take effect. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:51, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

Saying it is too soon to determine is not CRYSTAL, it is an argument to keep rather than rush to delete. The question isn't whether or not it got coverage, because clearly it did, the question when determining whether or not to delete this is if it is

• Delay Redirect - Delay the deletion. WWE seems to not recognized Braun Strowman as the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Champion on RAW (The Raw after Greatest Royal Rumble). This can indicate that this is a one time thing, and the Championship is not moving forward. Colton Meltzer (talk) 20:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC) My stance is now Redirect. Despite the "Keep", After seeing WWE Backlash (2018), this WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Championship is a one time thing (and this championship belt is just a award like a trophy (with no reign or how many days held). The page can be re-created if it does become relevant again in the future.Colton Meltzer (talk) 20:40, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delay - Agree with Galatz and Colton Meltzer. Delay for a bit to see what happens. This could turn out to be a yearly reward for this particular match, akin to the WrestleMania battle royal trophies, although this match has both a trophy and a belt, but that's beside the point. --JDC808 ♫ 20:23, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delay At this point it seems that WWE is uncertain to what they're going to do with with the championship. We should delay any decision until something occurs with WWE. - ZSJUSA
• Delete. No such title exists. It's just a trophy and has never been defended. Str1977 ^(talk) 21:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: No one knows exactly what's to become of it, but it was literally just introduced a week ago. It hasn't exactly had the opportunity to be defended yet if it is a title that will be defended. --JDC808 ♫ 03:32, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep - "No such title exists" - incorrect. According to WWE.com the title is exactly the same as the other championships. It says Braun Strowman is the current champion and has been champion for 5 days and 3 hours. This is exactly what they do for other championships. If it was just a one-time thing, why would he have been champion for 5 days? WWE doesn't list Matt Hardy as having been the Andre the Giant winner for x amount of days, because thats not a Championship, but this is. Not to mention, WWE showed Braun with the title on his shoulder during the past RAW when promoting Backlash. To say it's not a real championship and therefore doesn't deserve a page is a dumb argument. The title history is brief at the moment, but it will only grow like the other new titles. Goku4Star (talk) 00:39, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Definite Keep. This is a new championship belt so WWE has no absolute idea what to do with it at the moment and they have considered this belt a sanctioned championship unlike the WWE Internet Title that's with Zack Ryder which is still disputed and unsanctioned. Kyrios320 (talk) 07:02, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a valid keep criteria. We only include championships if they meet

The title literally just came out. You're making such a rash decision. Where are your sources saying it won't be defended? You dont have them. It's an official title and therefore deserves a page. You can't just tell someone their opinion to keep the article isnt valid. If in one years time it's never defended then sure, delete it, but it literally just came out and got massive coverage. You can't say it doesnt deserve a page. Goku4Star (talk) 16:34, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is not Original Research that this is an officially recognized Championship and is treated as such. Goku4Star^Talk 21:33, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep WWE's official website has now officially announced Braun Strowman as the Greatest Royal Rumble Champion and recognizes the Greatest Royal Rumble Championship. Please watch out this link: wwe.com/classics/titlehistory/greatest-royal-rumble-championship

I understand WWE posted on their WWE.com Championship page, but WWE did not recognize Barun Storwman as WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Champion on the RAW after Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash 2018 on the graphics during the their entrances 3 times already. They even said he won the Championship Belt and the Trophy (Indicating these just same type of awards (No Regins and no # days held). If that is the case than we might not need a page. Eventually Championship will go defuct. Colton Meltzer (talk) 00:38, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you should re-visit the page on wwe.com,
