Okay, so with only five WWE Superstars ever holding the WWE Universal Championship, it's no surprise that no-one has ever held it twice.

Not only that, though, none of them have EVER got a Universal Championship rematch. Finn Balor received a title shot over a year later when Roman Reigns said he was going to put things right and give Balor his rightful rematch - but it wasn't an official rematch as Balor didn't lose the title and thus couldn't challenge the champion he lost it to.

Balor didn't get a rematch due to injury, Owens just didn't get one as the title was taken off him to be put straight into a rivalry. Goldberg seemingly retired immediately after losing the title and Brock Lesnar's rematch against Roman Reigns was initially slated to be a Triple Threat Match, but is now a one-on-one match for a vacant title.

With the final champion, Roman Reigns, relinquishing the title, a rematch is impossible for him, too, as he didn't lose the title.

So what do you think? Is the WWE Universal Championship cursed? Let us know in the comments.
