History of the WWE Universal Championship

The WWE Universal Championship is a world heavyweight championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the SmackDown brand. It is one of two world titles for WWE’s main roster, alongside the WWE Championship on Raw. The current champion is Drew McIntyre, who is in his first reign.

The title was established as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on July 19, 2016, when then-WWE Champion Dean Ambrose was drafted to SmackDown as part of the 2016 WWE draft. SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan then immediately awarded Ambrose the newly created championship. The holder of the title is referred to as “the WWE Universal Champion”.

The inaugural champion was Goldberg, who defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 to win the title. Lesnar regained the title at the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view in 2017, only to lose it back to Goldberg at Survivor Series that November, making Goldberg a two-time champion. Lesnar once again won the title at Royal Rumble in 2018, and held it until he lost it to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, making Rollins the first person to win both world titles (Raw and SmackDown) in WrestleMania history. Brock Lesnar recaptured the title from Rollins at Extreme Rules in 2019, but lost it back to him a month later at SummerSlam. Following SummerSlam, Roman Reigns defeated Rollins for the title before vacating it due to his second battle with leukemia; Goldberg then won a vacant title match against Dolph Ziggler at Crown Jewel that November. At Super ShowDown in 2020, Braun Strowman defeated Goldberg to win his first Universal Championship. However, he would lose it back to Goldberg two months later at WrestleMania 36; this made Goldberg a three-time champion and made him become one of five people (along with Strowman himself) who have held both world titles more than once (with Bob Backlund being a two-time WWWF Heavyweight Champion before becoming a one-time WWWF World Heavyweight Champion after WWE’s first brand extension), as well as one of four people who have won multiple world championships in WWE (the other three being Strowman himself, Triple H and John Cena). McIntyre won his first Universal Championship by defeating Strowman at WrestleMania Backlash in 2021.

The title was established as a World Heavyweight Championship on July 25, 2016, when then-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns was drafted to Raw during the 2016 WWE draft. The following month, at Battleground, then-WWE Champion Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in a triple threat match to unify both titles and become the inaugural WWE Universal Champion. The title has since undergone two name changes; it became exclusive to Raw when Ambrose was drafted to Smackdown during the 2017 Superstar Shake-up, and was renamed when Brock Lesnar defeated Reigns at SummerSlam 2018 to become the first ever WWE Universal Champion.
