Has WWE removed the Universal Championship for good?

Over the years, WWE has made several changes to its programs. While some of them have been received with open arms, the others were subjected to criticism. Recently, fans on Twitter started speculating about the removal of the Universal Championship.

On the social media platform Twitter/X, several people mentioned that the Universal Championship had been removed for good, and Roman Reigns' title will now be referred to as the WWE Championship. This speculation began because LA Knight and Seth Rollins called it such.

However, the truth is that the Universal Championship has not been removed. The official website says it's still a part of the promotion, and Reigns must be referred to as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

However, the question remains: why was it referred to as the WWE Championship? The answer to that could be that it's nothing more than a slip of the tongue.

Apart from that, the Universal Championship is alive, and it seems that will be the case for the years to come.
