 This just looks so stupid. There are three main roster world titles and then the NXT title. Redundancy at it's finest. |

I'd be perfectly content with just tossing the Universal title in a volcano and pretending it never existed.

There’s a lot of stuff they should of done already
Why hasn’t the Raw and SmackDown Woman’s Titles swapped brands, or better yet, completely redesign and renamed by now
Why hasn’t the NXT Woman’s tag Titles been vacated yet if Solo Sikoa had to vacate the NA Title when he was called up
Why hasn’t the Tag Titles been merged yet by now
UGH none of this makes sense

To be the undisputed boxing champion you need the WBA, WBC, and IBF championships. The last man to be the Undisputed Heavyweight boxing champion was Lennox Lewis and that was over 20 years ago. In more recent years, the WBO belt has risen to the same level of prestige as the other 3. So that's 4 belts to be undisputed. Currently the belts are split between Oleksander Usyk who has 3 belts and Tyson Fury who has one belt. People want a fight to merge all the titles, but it just has not happened since Lewis did it.
In that context, WWE having 3 championship belts is not all that strange.

Whoever beats Roman for the belts better retire the universal title the next night.

The Universal title reign is the 1000 day reign, so as long as Roman has the belt, it will be....acknowledged. heh heh heh
But as soon (soon, lol) as he drops it, I feel that we'll have a WWE Champion, and a World Heavyweight Champion, and that will be it until those titles are merged in a unification match before the 2028 brand split and the WWE introduce the WWE Supreme Galactic Championship- time is a flat circle.

I bet they wish they started Roman's reign with the WWE Championship.
If they merge the titles they will either have to drop the lineage that started in 1963 or drop the Universal lineage with Roman's 1000 day+ reign

I feel like the WWE title and Universal will (someday) be split, and the Universal will be unified with the World Heavyweight title, eventually.

Wrestling isn't boxing and one of the major complaints people have about it is there are too many titles and they don't mean anything. Now it's all about undefeated streaks, which too, now mean very little. |

Just pointing out that what we are complaining about in wrestling is happening in "real" sports too.

I understand. It's a fair point too. |
