Backstage Notes on the WWE World Heavyweight Title and the Undisputed WWE Universal Title


 BY: RYAN 

A new report from Fightful Select notes that prior to the 2022 WWE Day 1 event there were no plans to unify the WWE Title with the Universal Title. However, when current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns contracted COVID-19 and had to be pulled from Day 1, the late decision was made to add Brock Lesnar to the WWE Title match with then-champion Big E, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, and current Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion Kevin Owens.

The decision was for Lesnar to win that Fatal 5 Way, then compete in a unification match with Reigns at WrestleMania 38. Before that, there were no plans for title unification.

At one point in 2022, there were internal documents that indicated a plan to split Reigns’ titles up, with Rollins or Drew McIntyre facing Cody Rhodes to crown a new WWE Champion. This obviously did not happen as within a few weeks, plans were changed and the idea of splitting the titles was dropped. It wasn’t clear how the titles were to be split, but at that time, “TBA” was listed as Reigns’ opponent.

WWE has indicated that a tournament of RAW Superstars will be held to decide the new champion, with the World Heavyweight Champion being crowned at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 27. The title will be exclusive to the red brand because Reigns was drafted to SmackDown.
