June of 2019 went quite well for WWE. We saw two pay-per-views, namely WWE Super Showdown and WWE Stomping Grounds. An NXT TakeOver event also took place on the first day of June 2019.

The highlights of this month included the success of NXT TakeOver XXV (which was one of the best events of the year), Becky Lynch helping Seth Rollins retain the Universal title at WWE Stomping Grounds was another highlight. Adam Cole won the NXT Championship, Ricochet won the United States Championship and Shane McMahon's push continued as he defeated Roman Reigns at Super Showdown.

WWE did make some questionable decisions this June, like The Undertaker Vs Goldberg at Super Showdown and keeping the Money in the Bank briefcase on Brock Lesnar (thus allowing him to remain in the Universal title picture).

However, WWE did hit the jackpot quite a few times in June. Let's take a look at 3 times WWE hit the jackpot this month.


#3 The 24/7 Championship drama

Okay, the idea of having a championship that could literally be defended anywhere at any time was initially laughable. However, WWE has proved the fans (who were critical of it) wrong as the 24/7 Championship has been a constant highlight during this dark period of WWE programming when ratings are declining rapidly. The 24/7 Championship has provided fans with a beacon of hope at a time when they were losing faith in WWE.

Every segment involving the 24/7 Championship has been entertaining and amusing. R-Truth is to credit for the title's success, but the rest of the roster has also played its part to near-perfection. Watching R-Truth win the title under the ring from Elias was a hilarious moment, having Jinder Mahal win the title on a golf course was a stroke of a genius, and let's not forget the whole Drake Maverick and R-Truth saga. Maverick lost his coveted 24/7 championship at his own wedding, how unusually ludicrous is that?

Fans all around the world have enjoyed the 24/7 Championship's drama greatly, it has generated millions of views on Youtube and has given the under-card stars something to do.

#2 Adam Cole winning his first NXT title at NXT TakeOver XXV

The leader of the Undisputed Era has been one of the best in NXT and is the top heel of the black and yellow brand. He has been the perfect replacement to Tommaso Ciampa as the top heel. Adam Cole is a great in-ring talent that has all the tools a top star in WWE should have.

In the latest WWE NEWS, Cole has feuded with Johnny Gargano since March and this feud has been so must-see that it has continued till date. However, winning the NXT Championship has been the best moment in Cole's WWE career. Cole winning the title was unexpected and a great decision that extended the rivalry between Gargano and Cole.

The match between Gargano and Cole was a pure clinic, they showed us what true wrestling is and absolutely had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Dave Meltzer rated the match 5 stars and that is a monumental achievement for the two who have just begun their career in the WWE.

#1 Keeping the Universal title on Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is the face that should represent the Raw brand, The Architect is the perfect Universal Champion and that's what Raw needs. The Universal Championship is new. Having been around for only three years, it has, thus far, looked like a joke to the WWE Championship. A great champion like Rollins would help restore prestige to the title.

The major reason for the Universal title's declining prestige is part-time champions. In the three years that championship has been around, the championship has remained with part-timers, particularly Brock Lesnar, for about one and a half years. A full-time champion puts the title on the line regularly like Rollins and that adds to the prestige of the title.

Rollins has been a great champion thus far and he is only two months into his reign. WWE teased Lesnar winning the title at WWE Super Show-Down, but Rollins managed to evade and escape with the title held above his shoulders. Rollins deserves to have a long reign with the championship, WWE made the right decision by keeping the title on Rollins this June.
