#1 WWE Championship gains prominence again

Its baffling to know that WWE Championship has not headlined since March, when it was defended in a six way match at Fastlane, a B rank pay per view. Its even more perplexing to know that if you take out the brand exclusive pay per views of Smackdown, the title has not headlined a single pay per view after the brand split, not even once.
There have been 15 dual branded pay per views since the brand split, among which 5 were PPV-specific gimmick matches (Royal Rumble, Greatest Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, Survivor Series), 3 events were headlined by part timers in a non title match, IC title headlined once and the rest are either headlined by the Universal championship or are Roman's non title matches.

While it would be harsh to blame Reigns entirely for it, but Universal title was meant to be Roman's title and Vince wanted his top guy to main event the PPVs, even during Lesnar's reign, he was just a place holder for Reigns.
The biggest backlash occurred when Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe headlined the Backlash PPV. Fans were seen leaving the arena before the match even ended.
With Reigns out for an unknown period of time, WWE championship could regain its prestige back. Maybe a returning Lesnar means that the Universal title would headline Crown Jewel as well but after the event, WWE championship could again main event the PPVs with top talents in AJ Styles, Miz, Bryan and Samoa Joe gunning for the championship.
