As of the last episode of RAW, the Universal title was held by Roman Reigns which he relinquished, Seth became a dual champion again after winning the tag team championships with Dean Ambrose, while already being the Intercontinental Champion.

With rumors of Reigns defending his title against the Rock or Drew McIntyre at Wrestlemania, there was very little chance of any other superstar winning the title from him before the event.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

The Shield was put together to support Reigns which resulted in Seth Rollins taking a back seat with his Intercontinental Championship and giving the group priority. As a result, the championship was not defended in the last two PPVs, and with Seth taking part in the World Cup, it won't be featured on WWE Crown Jewel as well.

As discussed in the previous slide, Roman's announcement led to an unexpected turn from Ambrose, which means the tag championships are again vacant and it also frees up Rollins to again start defending his title.
