WhatCulture : declared in Why WWE Is RIGHT To Transfer The Universal Title To Goldberg

It didn't feel like a major title match because it wasn't contested for a major title. Around Kevin Owens' waist, how many aspiring indy stars do you think dream of holding the Universal Title? Now consider the alternative: Bálor returns to RAW the night after WrestleMania to challenge for Brock Lesnar's newly-won Universal Title. Attempts to enhance it with the Universal Title would just underline the transparency. So, too, was the Universal Title.

WWE Wasted a Great Moment with Bayley's Title Win

In other words, Bayley's first title win, which should be the culmination of a long main roster program, was wasted on hot-shotting a good Nielsen rating. Even if the heel got what was coming to her, the virtuous babyface shouldn't have to cheat for her first title win; she should overcome cheating. Don't get me wrong: It was a great moment. And that doesn't even take into account that the match ending, while a great finish for a title change, was not the right finish for this specific title change. Down the line, this would have been a great finish to begin a second title run.


According to the WWE "rule book," with Orton giving up his WrestleMania title shot, Roman Reigns should now be facing Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 33 for the WWE Championship. Even if it did, it likely does not have a provision regarding a Royal Rumble winner giving up their title shot at WrestleMania. Austin informed McMahon that he would be wrestling for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania and then-WWF Commissioner Shawn Michaels appeared in the camera shot with Austin. Austin ended up winning the match and went on to defeat The Rock at WrestleMania 15 to regain the WWF Championship.
