#1 The value of the Universal Championship suffered
The Universal Championship was launched in honor of the WWE Universe but has largely failed in pleasing the fans.
After the inaugural winner, Finn Balor, relinquished the title due to a legitimate injury, the championship has been on a bumpy road and seen some uninterested champions and two relinquishes in total.
Brock Lesnar has held the title for most of its existence, and only defends it when he wants, which has really frustrated the fans. When Roman Reigns finally won the championship, he promised to defend it every week, much to the excitement of the fans.
However, since Reigns’ relinquished the title, Lesnar won it again and it has gone through the same treatment once more, which has further decreased the value of the championship.
With a match for the title scheduled for WrestleMania 35 and a possible return of Roman Reigns, we could see the Universal Championship regain relevance sooner than later.
