7 Reasons The WWE Universal Championship Is A Horrific Idea

7. UNIVERSAL Championship?

Until Seth Rollins defends the title against The Daleks in a three-on-one handicap match, the idea of a WWE Universal Championship is ridiculous.

A world championship makes sense because it can be defended all over planet earth. Ditto the intercontinental title. But a Universal title? Other than to stroke the ego of Vince McMahon, who likely believes that his wrestling company is the only one in the entire galaxy, it makes as much sense as the decision to cut most of The Joker's scenes from Suicide Squad.

Even with Mick Foley's clarification that the title is named after the fans, the concept is flawed. After all, the championship should be a coveted prize that fans pay their hard-earned money to see defended, not something halfheartedly named after them.

Unless Starlord lands on earth and challenges Finn Balor to a Martian Street Fight on a pay-per-view featuring Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic" as its theme song, WWE should at least contemplate renaming the bastardized championship something else.
