#3 The Universal Title needs a champion whom the WWE Universe cheers for

If we look at the Universal Champions other than Balor, two were heels while two were babyfaces who were booed by the WWE Universe

Looking at the other four superstars who have held the Universal title - Kevin Owens was a Superstar who portrayed the character of a cowardly heel champion, Goldberg was someone who was heavily cheered until he won the Universal Title, Brock Lesnar's reign was a test of the WWE Universe's patience while Roman Reigns' promising reign was cut short due to Leukemia. Nevertheless, Reigns was booed by the WWE Universe ahead of his disease revelation.

All of these Superstars received boos from the WWE Universe and thus the Title has never been in the hands of someone who was cheered by the fans. Finn Balor is one of the most popular Superstars in the WWE currently and thus, the WWE fans could finally get a champion whom they can cheer for rather than showering hate on him every week.
