I get why they are doing this, but the optics are bad with Roman winning at Mania and not being on tv

When you've had something like the UK Titles to introduce a new title that looks like the IC and WHC had a drunken hookup is sad. At least it is not Winged Eagle rip though.
Guessing this is the NoC main though?

Don't super care for the design. I like the shades of the Big Gold, but I don't like the globe in the middle. If it was a Big Gold design throughout and the WWE logo laid on top it might be better.

After HHH basically came out and said "Roman is going to be part time and no one can beat him anyway, so here's a new belt", I now want Roman to win the new World Title and have all 3 of them. That might actually be the less embarrassing scenario than someone like Cody winning it and sobbing in the middle of the ring for winning a consolation trophy.

Great look title and I think this is the right call to get a title opposite of Roman.

Yeah, at this point I would just laugh at Cody if he treated this with the same weight as beating Roman. This is so strange.

Looks great, and now we’ll have two world champions again so I’m for it.
Curious if they move Cody to the same show as Roman or if they have Cody win this new title. I’m thinking bigger money is Cody-Roman at Ford Field for Summerslam. Though I wonder if Raw ratings would sink without Cody.

The WHC towards the end was basically the secondary world title for people they didn’t really want to give the main title to anyway, might as well bring it back to continue its legacy.

Great look title and I think this is the right call to get a title opposite of Roman. The issue is they set it up as secondary to Roman, and that everyone's lost to Roman, so now the wrestlers get this instead while Roman gets to stay off TV for weeks at a time, this was the same issue a lot of people had with Brock at his worst as champion. I get what they were trying to do, I even like the design throwback... but they did not set this up well and essentially said "Here's your YOUDIDN'TBEATROMANLOL title"

I don’t see Cody winning it because his goal is dethroning Roman specifically for the title his dad never won.
Other than the obvious of Seth, it’d be nice to see Nakamura win. Or having other babyfaces step up into the main event scene like Ricochet or Zayn. Either way it’s gonna keep things fresh again.
Still annoying that this was the way it had to happen but hey, Vince is an idiot.

They could have given us a winged eagle version with the logo slapped on it.
Gotta take the good with the bad. It's a part of the facts of life

My guess is Roman and Cody are separated and then via rumble or whatever come together for mania.

... Am I looking at the same belt as everyone else? That thing looks awful.
Also, just force Roman to defend each brand's belt separately on alternate PPVs. There, I'm immediately better at booking than the people who for some reason still get paid to do this.

So either they get rid of the wwe championship (which had been around for 60 years) or the universal title lineage which would make the last 3 years pointless

Seth should win the title.
1. He’s over AF.
2. He can brag that Roman “never beat him.”
