1,000 days of the WWE Universal Championship: 3 positives and 4 negatives

#1 Positive: Seth Rollins slays The Beast

After Roman Reigns was forced to relinquish the Universal Championship in October 2018, the vacant title was up for grabs when Brock Lesnar faced Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel.

Lesnar won, courtesy of interference from Baron Corbin, and he went on to have another relatively lengthy reign as champion (156 days) before losing the title to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35.

Very few WWE fans wanted to see “The Beast” win the title at Crown Jewel, especially after his previous part-time reign had only just ended two months prior at SummerSlam, so Rollins’ win at WWE’s biggest show of the year not only gave everybody a fan favourite as champion again, but it also meant that the title was finally back on Raw full-time.

Reports this week have suggested that Lesnar could challenge for the Universal Championship at the Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia on June 7, but WWE wouldn’t go back to having a part-time champion again already, would they? Or would they...?!
