5 Things That Tell Us We Are In the New Era of WWE

#4 THE UNIVERSAL HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE

Will Seth Rollins be the first Universal Heavyweight Champion?

As cheesy as it sounds, Raw had to have its own title to distinguish itself from Smackdown Live. The two “Fatal Four-way” matches to kick off the show, followed by the main event between Finn Balor and Roman Reigns showed us all how much this company has grown in the past couple of days.

The notion that Balor can come to the main roster, generate such a following and then beat a three-time world champion in Reigns shows how committed WWE is to producing a new product. This won’t be the only title created or invented to give each brand their own unique flavor.

You know, in a perfect world, Seth Rollins walks out as the champion. But you never know what happens when The Architect gets in the ring with Finn Balor. It has the makings of one of the better title matches this year.
