Can we officially call the universal championship a flop?

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Hideous belt? Check

Awful name? Check

Lack of established title belt lineage to draw from? Check

Lack of memorable matches? Check

Lack of compelling championship reigns? Check


The crowd spent the entire unveiling of it and its first match shytting on the name and belt. The majority of its existence it’s been held by a guy who isn’t even there half the time. At this point Brock is only holding the belt to pass punk’s mark of 434 days and it doesn’t mean shyt because that belt has no credible history behind it. The other title run was basically a honky tonk man type run. Send this fruit roll up looking title to the bushes . The fact that a match for this worthless title headlined Wrestlemania

There should only be ONE world title in a promotion.

Been a flop since it's inception

Besides...they will get rid of it when they eventually merge the 2 brands again

The fact that there's over a hundred title belts in the WWE right now just frustrating to keep up with. Hell, I don't even know whose the US champion . Does Brawn have to defend the Saudi belt? Like wtf

Yup, then reigns will carry them both for a little bit till they make a new unified belt for him

All of the reigns have been trash. Finn's reign was one day, KO getting the belt in general was never really explained (with HHH's help), Goldberg's was okay for a little while, and then Brock has just been boring af for me.

They need to have an actual worker hold the belt. I would rather have Rollins hold it at this point.

Rollins vs Finn for the belt was lit

 

[Homer Simpson]

First reign was Finn balor, hard to recover from that.

Basically there hasn't been a decent Universal Title reign since KO held it and Jericho was a big part of that. Goldberg's reign was a cool nostalgic moment. Brock though, jesus, this guy single handedly ruined the Raw main event, you got Braun out here tagging with kids, Rollins tagging with Jason Jordan and being stuck in the upper mid card, at least he's a good IC champ. Finn out here with a LGBT gimmick.

IC Title division (and US title) should be based around some of the young guys like Elias, Almas, Drew Mac, Corbin, etc.

Universal Title scene should be based around Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Finn Balor, etc.

This the new Reign of Terror.

It's about to have the longest reign in the modern era.

All due to CM Punk hatred.

 

[TransJenner]

If Shinsuke ever wins it he should make the whole thing completely Red , like the plates

 

[TransJenner]

But honestly if they give it to Braun soon he could make it worth something ?

 

[Mr. Negative]

it's really the TV Title, except dude is never on TV

if they give it to any full timer who isn't Brock they could do something with it.
