World Wrestling Entertainment is preparing to crown a new champion during the upcoming SummerSlam weekend, marking a significant moment for the WWE SummerSlam New Champion title. On August 1, the inaugural WWE ID Men’s Championship will be decided in Rutherford, New Jersey, as Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones face off in the tournament final.
Introduction of the Inaugural WWE ID Men’s Champion
WWE already features numerous champions across its various brands, including RAW, SmackDown, NXT, Speed, and Evolve, each representing the company’s diverse roster. In addition to these titles, WWE recently incorporated the TNA Knockouts World Title following Jacy Jayne’s victory at Slammiversary. Now, fans will witness a new addition as the first WWE ID Men’s Champion is crowned during SummerSlam weekend events in early August.
The final match of the WWE ID Men’s Title Tournament will take place on August 1, just ahead of the SummerSlam pay-per-views scheduled for August 2 and 3. The tournament final features Jack Cartwheel versus Cappuccino Jones, both vying to become the promotion’s newest champion.

Current Status of TNA Titles in WWE
WWE’s acquisition strategy has also brought TNA’s prestigious titles into the fold. Beyond the TNA Knockouts World Title, currently held by Jacy Jayne, another major TNA championship is in WWE’s possession. NXT star Trick Williams currently holds the TNA World Championship after defeating Joe Hendry earlier this year.
Despite expectations that Williams might lose the TNA World Title at Slammiversary in a match including Hendry and Mike Santana, he retained the championship. This situation has led to WWE holding both of TNA’s premier titles simultaneously, creating an unusual but noteworthy chapter in professional wrestling history.
The Significance of Crowning the First WWE ID Men’s Champion
The establishment of the WWE ID Men’s Championship adds a fresh layer to WWE’s already rich collection of titles, presenting new opportunities for emerging stars like Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones. This tournament and subsequent crowning will not only expand WWE’s championship landscape but may also influence the careers of the competitors involved.
The event in Rutherford, slated just before the SummerSlam weekend, is poised to draw attention from wrestling fans eager to witness this historic moment. It also reflects WWE’s ongoing commitment to innovation and growth across its brands, highlighting new talent while honoring the legacy of existing championships.
