Roman is going to be brand exclusive too. It doesn't matter. The belt was literally announced as the belt guys are gonna be fighting for because Roman's a part timer who doesn't lose Putting Roman on one brand with his Bloodline BS is cool, but it doesn't take away from the fact that this belt has been presented, but now both HHH and Seth Rollins, as a belt wrestlers can finally fight for that "Isn't held by part timers and politics" because Roman holds both belts, the Universal Title being the original consolation prize before he won that too, they literally shit on their own booking in doing this, it's not a good look, at all. It might lead to fun reigns and matches in the future, again, it doesn't matter when it's the consolation prize, and will be until Roman actually loses... and it's not happening, which is why the belt exists lol Okay got it, it doesn’t matter. Thanks

Go back to Hogan era Championship booking. I think this run with Reigns is them trying to do that (with a heel, admittedly, but still), but it just doesn’t work in the more TV-centric, stars every week era of pro wrestling that it’s been like since the mid 90s. Fans just don’t have the patience to sit there and watch a multiple-year title run even if WWE was actually firing on all cylinders.

Was this the shortest length of having only one world title?

Id laugh if Lesnar becomes the first champion and end up f***ing off for a couple months after winning it.

Thanks It doesn't matter to a great number of people when the booking itself is telling you what the belt is and spelling it out that it's the consolation prize Like man they said it point blank, they didn't even hide it, they highlighted the belt exists because Roman has both other belts and isn't losing, it's not really hype it's just highlighting how much they've backed themselves into a corner with the Roman stuff I'm not the only person saying this, I'm not the only person you quoted with the exact same problems lol

Was this the shortest length of having only one world title? Wasn't even one world title given Roman just held both... this is maybe the first time we've had three world titles in the company though lmfao

This is the 3rd time they've gone from a "undisputed" champion back to two titles. It's just a trope now.

Was this the shortest length of having only one world title? I think 9 months - from Jericho unifying it in December 2001 to Hunter getting the World Heavyweight Title in September 2002.

Hard to take the belt seriously when it's introduced and presented as a consolation prize. No matter who wins the belt, that won't take away from the fact that they'll be second to Roman.

As long as Cody doesn’t win it, I think there’s a lot you can do with it
regardless, the entire roster looks so f***ing weak now

I really don't think Cody should win this title. Not now anyway. His first promo back he very specifically said his goal was to win the WWE title which Roman obviously holds. That one has to be his first big world title win.
I think Seth would be the perfect first champion. Both because it should be a babyface and also because he's always had Roman's number over the years and he's the one guy heel Roman couldn't beat during his title reign. He can play it off like I beat Roman by DQ and he was a coward whose been ducking me and wouldn't give me a rematch but now I'm world champion I'm gonna take on everyone etc.

I will say this about the new title, I like how it has the word "champion" in big letters, unlike the two titles Roman has where the words "World Heavyweight Champion" and "Universal Champion" is in teeny tiny text underneath the giant WWE logo.

Better lighting for it via a replica on the shop. Looks way better than the main titles... not that it's fantastic... but it's better looking than the giant belt buckle.

Roman definitely isn’t losing this year. This belt likely paves the way for him to keep it until WM. If he was going to lose it at Summerslam then there would have been no point in creating a new title that will be crowned in May. They could have just waited 2-3 months, had Roman lose at Summerslam, and then split the titles from there. Not sure what feuds Roman could possibly have from now until Mania next year that would be intriguing at all but it doesn’t appear he’s losing it any time soon.

It does kinda matter though, the whole "Roman's holding the belt forever and he's part time" sucks, this basically being the belt you win because Roman won't lose, sucks This belt honestly won't feel like it truly matters until Roman loses, which is what basically everything hinges on anymore and it's... just not happening I disagree, I think with a stricter brand split (which is usually what happens post-draft), an entire show and its stars will be revolving around this new title and it will seem extremely important. Think of all the great feuds and title wins there have been over the years with the non-Cena, or non-Brock, or non-Roman world titles when there have been two. Dolph's win was the first that came to mind and I mean it..

This is all so cringe. It's a belt for second place losers like Cody. Why can't they just have Roman lose, ffs?!?! WWE is filled with a bunch of f***ing weirdos, man!

Super excited for this and the reaction seems to be really positive for this. The belt itself is such a beautiful and smart update. They knocked it out of the park.
