The WWE should call their belt the WWE Shitcunt Championship.

Because anyone who wins it is a real shitcunt and isn't afraid of being called a shitcunt by shitcunts.

Or brought back the WWE Hardcore Championship as its World Title with classic rules, because being hardcore is what RAW is all about. As long as it has good matches.

Or the "WWE Not Women's Championship" in order to make an ironic statement about gender.

More I think about it, "Universal Championship" actually sounds like a regional title in the 80's. Like... I can see Jim Duggan being Universal Champion for some company in the south somewhere before going to WWE.

It sounds like a Puerto Rico title. Or a fantasy league title.

That's because it is. World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico has a Universal Championship

Answer me this, Noid. Do you think that there is someone who would try watching WWE for the first time and decide it's not for them based solely on the fact that they have a Universal title?

The belt isn't the whole fucking brand. It's just a belt.

Raw
Universal Heavyweight Championship United States Championship Universal Tag Team Championships WWE Women's Championship SmackDown Live World Heavyweight Championship Intercontinental Championship World Tag Team Championships WWE Cruiserweight Championship I could live would that. I agree, Universal does sound like an E-Fed title, or an old-school territory title. But it's the WWE Universe, so it makes perfect sense to me. The main titles, US and IC titles, and tag team titles would stay on their respected brands, and the Women's and Cruiserweight titles could change hands at the any of the PPVs that feature both brands. |

Absolutely. It's corny as shit. Wrestling already has an uphill battle.

I've actually talked to casual fans that like the name. I don't think it's as bad as everyone seems to think and the more I hear it the more I like it. Hope all of Raws titles take the Universal name.

I can actually see someone tuning in for the first time, hearing about the "Universal Title" and being like "LOL wrestling".

You guys are silly as fuck. That title name would most certainly not be the most corny thing they would encounter on a wrestling show. You guys are just wrong on this.

That wouldn't make a lot of sense in the context of what they're doing (like Universal does), but even a title with that name could still have some quality matches behind it.

We literally just had a dude call himself the Demon King and then danced to the ring like he is a male stripper. Everyone loves that right? Anyone turning in and seeing that shit would laugh harder than having the title be called Universal.

On a serious note, I haven't been upset about the name except for when it was announced. Like Hunter said, it's the man who makes the title and not the title that makes the man. In my opinion, the NXT Championship looks hideous and is lower down the pecking order when compared to titles on the main roster. But the way it is booked and the talents that hold it, it comes across as "prestigious". I can see the same happening for the Universal title. |

That's exactly why Rollins needs to win it. He is a former WWE World HeavyweightChampion and Balor is a newbie that just lost that NXT title.
