Who Will Be the Next WWE Universal Champion?

We take a look at who could be in contention to become the next WWE Universal Champion.

WWE Universe

The WWE Universe is a community made up of the WWE’s most passionate fans. It’s a place where fans can come together to discuss their favorite WWE Superstars, matches, and more.

WWE Universe is the name of the fictional universe in which WWE programming takes place

The WWE Universe is the name of the fictional universe in which WWE programming takes place. It contains various delineated “brands” or “shows”, such as Raw, SmackDown and NXT, to which selected WWE Superstars are drafted to perform. All WWE wrestlers are deemed to be a part of the WWE Universe, while using the name reflects their connection to WWE programming.

In kayfabe, all WWE programming takes place within the confines of the WWE Universe, with no acknowledgment of the actual world outside of it; for example, even though Donald Trump was President of the United States during much of WWE’s Attitude Era, his name was never uttered on-air, as he was not part of the kayfabe Universe.

The WWE Universe is not just the fans, but also the superstars, staff, and other people who are involved in WWE

The WWE Universe is not just the fans, but also the superstars, staff, and other people who are involved in WWE.

WWE Universe is a term used by WWE, a professional wrestling promotion, to refer to both their fans and the wrestlers and other personnel who work for them. The term has been in use since at least 1997.

In May 2012, the WWE website launched an online poll asking fans who they would like to see as the next WWE Champion. The top five choices were CM Punk, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, and Big Show.

As of July 2017, there have been seven WWE Universal Champions: Brock Lesnar (2 times), Goldberg (1 time), Kevin Owens (1 time), Bill Goldberg (1 time), Finn Bálor (1 time) and Roman Reigns (1 time).

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, along with the WWE Championship on the Raw brand. The current champion is Brock Lesnar, who is in his second reign. Lesnar won the title by defeating Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel in October 2018.

The title was established as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on July 19, 2016, when then-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dean Ambrose was drafted to SmackDown during the 2016 WWE draft. The following week on SmackDown Live, Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in a triple threat steel cage match to unify the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Championship, thus becoming the inaugural Universal Champion.

In mid-2019, with WWE introducing new television agreements with both Fox and USA Network that saw SmackDown move to Fridays on Fox (the newly-created “Fox deal”), as well as split Raw and SmackDown into separate rosters once again (dubbed the “Wild Card Rule”), it was announced that the Universal Championship would be exclusive to Raw while the WWE Championship would be exclusive to SmackDown. This change took effect beginning with that year’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view event.

As of 2020, Brock Lesnar is the current champion in his second reign after defeating Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 36. He is also the longest-reigning champion in history, having held the title for a combined 1,081 days (across his two reigns).

It is one of two world titles in WWE, alongside the WWE Championship on the Raw brand

The WWE Universal Championship is a professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the SmackDown brand. It is one of two world titles in WWE, alongside the WWE Championship on the Raw brand. The inaugural champion was Finn Bálor, who defeated Seth Rollins in the final of a tournament at SummerSlam in August 2016. Brock Lesnar is the current champion in his first reign, after defeating Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel.

WWE has also called it “the pinnacle of WWE” and “the richest prize in sports entertainment”.Universal refers to it as a “world” title as opposed to WWE’s other titles, which are exclusive to either Raw or SmackDown (excluding the now-defunct ECW and WCW World Heavyweight Championships).

WWE Universal Champion Predictions

The WWE Universal Championship is currently vacant after Brock Lesnar shockingly relinquished the title on the steps of WWE headquarters. This has left WWE with a bit of a dilemma heading into WrestleMania. Who will be the next WWE Universal Champion? Let’s take a look at some of the potential candidates.

Brock Lesnar is the current WWE Universal Champion

Brock Lesnar is the current WWE Universal Champion, having won the title at WrestleMania 34. He is also a former NCAA Division I Heavyweight Wrestling Champion. He has held the WWE Championship twice and the UFC Heavyweight Championship once.

Roman Reigns is the top contender for the WWE Universal Championship

As we head into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, there is no clear favorite to win the men’s Royal Rumble match and earn a Universal Championship opportunity at WrestleMania 34. However, there is one Superstar who seems to be the top contender for the Universal Championship: Roman Reigns.

Reigns has been on a Roll since returning from a brief hiatus due to illness, and he is currently the United States Champion. While he is not currently entered in the Royal Rumble match, it would not be surprising to see him enter at No. 30 and go on to win the match.

If Reigns does not win the Royal Rumble, then he is still likely to challenge for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34. He has been feuding with Braun Strowman as of late, and their match at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs was one of the best matches on that pay-per-view.

The speculation is that Brock Lesnar will retain the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, but it remains to be seen who his opponent will be at WrestleMania 34. If Reigns does not win the Royal Rumble, then he will most likely be Lesnar’s opponent at WrestleMania 34.

Samoa Joe is another top contender for the WWE Universal Championship

Samoa Joe has been one of the most dominant Superstars in WWE over the past year, and he is certainly a top contender to become the next WWE Universal Champion. Joe has held the WWE United States Championship and the NXT Championship in the past, and he has also been a member of The Wyatt Family and Team Hell No.

Samoa Joe is a former NFL player who was signed by WWE in 2015, and he made his debut on the main roster in 2017. Since then, he has been one of the most dominant Superstars in WWE. He has held the WWE United States Championship and the NXT Championship in the past, and he has also been a member of The Wyatt Family and Team Hell No.
