It was just a couple of nights ago when the World Champions on both the brands were part-timers who only showed up for major events like WrestleMania. A little over 24 hours after, and we have two new World champions, both of whom are full-time wrestlers and the future of the company.

It was the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman who defeated Goldberg to win the Universal Championship on Night 1 of WrestleMania 36, and tonight on Night 2, it was Drew McIntyre who took out Brock Lesnar to become the new WWE Champion.

The debate of having part-timers win the championships and take the spot of young and upcoming talent has been there for a long time. Time and again WWE would tease a stop this bad habit of theirs, only to make a part-timer champion again - like we saw at WWE Super ShowDown when Goldberg defeated The Fiend.

With the next few months being a tough time for WWE Programming - with the current pandemic and having to hold empty arena shows - the company needs their World titles to be in the hands of Superstars who can constantly show up and perform for the fans every night.
