What happens to the wwe/Universal titles after mania?

[ChitownKnight]

Now Whoever wins both titles will eventually have to be pinned twice after mania to lose their titles. I think Seth (or Cody) will win the wwe title from Roman and Drew will win the universal title. Maybe a cash in is involved with the wwe title

Wish they’d just unify them and keep them as one and only have one world title. Problem is is that obviously the WWE title would be the one kept and they can’t do that and have Roman start over from 500 plus days.

There are honestly a lot of logistic problems.

Whoever is top champion either makes scattered appearances or is overworked, since WWE isn't built to have the world champion ever not on the show. It just isn't how they seem to book except for Brock, who was comically absent and irrelevant as world champion.

Fox, NBC, and probably Mattel won't be cool with it. The channels won't want to be slighted by being the one without a world champion and being treated as the lesser. Mattel would be angry about having replica belts and other toys that are then rendered outmoded and probably take a massive sales cut as a result.

Last is that they already have a serious problem solidifying stars, and with one world title, that shits the bed even harder. If the ceiling was glass before, it becomes titanium. Roman is probably not going to be wrestling for WWE anymore in 7-10 years, and Brock's definitely not going to be, so to maybe make one world champion better, they bet the farm on it and risk even further screwing their future over. I know WWE doesn't really plan for their future that much these days, but even in the short term, they're one groin pull away from having their main event scene cut in half instantly. That's scary enough without putting all their eggs in an even smaller basket.

I just want to know why WWE's approach to the problem of, "Nothing on this show matters," is always, "Let's go out of our way to reinforce that it doesn't matter." Raw's pretty barren right now, sure, but wouldn't it be better to try and actually build people up than to throw the entire goddamn brand under the bus to prop up a feud that gains absolutely nothing from doing so?

[Chiral]

Either Roman loses one of the belts via MITB shortly after or the WWE title gets merged into the Universal, then Roman holds it until the Rock match at WM39 then however long after that. WWE's on track to be the most pointless program in 2022 if they go through with their plans.

[A Platypus Rave]

Roman loses the Raw Title relatively quickly afterwards

my guess probably in some sort of multiman match that he doesn't get pinned in.

[brettappedout (BLM)]

Pierce will hand Cody the Big Gold belt.

[Starshine]

Roman defends both belts in two matches in one night at the same time, and wins by stacking everyone into a pile of shit and pinning the entire roster.

[Deleted]

Roman's losing that's for sure.

The problem is that it won't be seen as a satisfying loss because of how it'll be done. He'll probably wrestle 2 times in one night, win the first match decisively and then lose the second match because he's so stressed and tired from the first one. Hell, whoever he faces first will probably do a post-match beatdown after that match so it's an excuse.

It'll be bad tbh.

You leave Triple H outta this!

[dbrussel]

Same route they took with Becky, but now for Roman.

[Nosnorb]

I have a feeling that Roman loses the WWE Title to Edge via a MitB cash-in. The Rated-R Superstar won his first WWE Title via cash-in, I wouldn't bet against him winning the WWE Title in his return with a cash-in.

Of course, Roman will still have the Universal Title and he ain't losing that one for a long time.

[Push R Truth]

Roman holds them both until the next Mania to face the Rock because that's the worst case scenario so of course it's going to happen.

[Bo Rida]

Won't happen but ideal situation is the winner is WWE champion and the universal title is never seen or mentioned again. Not unified, just gone.

[Main Event Mark]

I know they've called it Champion vs Champion, but have they officially said it's for both titles? Lesnar earned a championship match, so maybe it's only for the Universal, and Reigns wins. Lesnar is still WWE champ.

Or maybe the match somehow turns into a triple threat, 2 out of 3 falls for both titles. Lesnar, Reigns and Rollins. (Could have been Lashley if not for injury)
Rollins or Lesnar walk out WWE champ.
Reigns walks out still universal champ,

On their websites it says Title vs. Title so I’m assuming they’re both on the line. There’d be no reason for Lesnar to have won the title if it wasn’t for both titles.

WWE have announced that the match is WINNER TAKE ALL.

[The Creepo Man]

Jack Tunney declares that Brock Lesnar cannot defend both the titles because of his farming duties in Saskatchewan. So Roman wins a tournament to regain the vacant title. Then Vince will decide to turn Kevin Owens into an anti-vaccine sympathizer while his friend Sami Zayn starts yelling about conspiracies.

[asuka007]

Roman wins both, maybe holds them for a bit. Drops one of the belts, almost certainly via shenanigans to “protect” him, and then just shrugs it off and moves on. And in now way does the new guy look like his equal.

In other words, it’ll probably suck.

the funny part is that brock challenged roman for his title as rumble winner. so technically brock winning a title in the meantime doesn't automatically give roman a title shot for brock's belt. but they apparently ignored that minor detail to push title vs title.

i mean if roman is now the #1 contender for brock's belt it would have been wiser for brock to let someone else win so roman (as the #1 contender for the RAW title due to...reasons) would have to fight twice that night because "obviously" roman's #1 contendership for the RAW title wouldn't be depending on the champ being brock and brock only after all.
