I can’t tell from the picture…does it have the word “Secondary” or “Back-up” or “#2” or “consolation” anywhere on there? Or is it just supposed to be heavily implied.

I'm not exactly sure who should be the first ever champion.
But if I have to pick someone, give it to SETH!

Introducing more titles with no lineage or history is lame

It was literally born out of stating Roman can’t be beaten and also he is too lazy to work that often.
Give it to Miz. That’s its level

The whole "Don't worry guys, Cody losing at Mania will be amazing storytelling, just keep watching!" thing really loses like... everything when we're now introducing an entire new world championship because they're basically telling us Roman isn't losing the belt any time soon and he's literally beaten everyone of note
Like man does Cody look even worse here, even if he wins this belt, he won the consolation prize, like anyone else who wins it who couldn't beat Roman
Even worse this is a "Champion for the people" being crowned in f***ing Saudi, all of this sucks lmfao
One thing I'll say is the belt design doesn't look too bad but all of it just feels genuinely pointless and to dance around how obsessed they are with Roman breaking records.

Well that kinda seals it. Roman will be champion until at least WM 40. (Which I have no problem with) Otherwise, I don’t see why they’d bother to do this.
It’s definitely better this way. Now we can have another regular defending world champion on another brand and the narrative won’t be “when the hell will somebody else be world champion?” It’ll just be “who will finally end Roman’s reign?”

What does this do to the existing titles and their lineages?

I like how the design is the Big Gold but with branding.

Is this title recognized by the WCW International board of directors?

It's a nice looking belt.
Still f***ing stupid when splitting the titles is the easiest f***ing thing in the world to do. And could have been done dating back to Drew in Cardiff. Like...this is fiction you can write ANY WAY YOU WANT.
I'm just gonna assume Roman stole that lockbox from Shane.

What does this do to the existing titles and their lineages? Depends on if they officially unify the WWE and Universal belts or not. Those lineages are still there ongoing with Reigns until they decide what to do.

Can’t wait until Roman unifies his belts with this too in a couple years.

I think this thing goes to Seth and Cody goes to Smackdown to chase Roman. I’m not necessarily sold on this “making Cody look bad.” Mania made him look bad. Not this.

Are they going to combine Romans two belts into one or are there three world titles now

I wouldn't even mind Seth winning but boy Cody's booking for me continues to be a mess lol, at least he hasn't lost the crowds, they love the guy

Introducing more titles with no lineage or history is lame All because they don't want to just split the WWE and Universal titles.
