The [[WWE Universal Championship]] is a men's [[professional wrestling]] [[World championship (professional wrestling)|world heavyweight championship]] created and promoted by the American [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] [[WWE]], defended on the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[WWE brand extension|brand division]]. The title was named in honor of WWE's fanbase, referred to as the [[WWE#Terminology|WWE Universe]], the championship was established on July 25, 2016, to be the top title of the Raw brand at the time. Its creation came as a result of the reintroduction of the brand split and subsequent [[2016 WWE draft|draft]] on July 19, 2016, in which the WWE Championship, the promotion's original world title, became exclusive to SmackDown. The inaugural Universal Champion was [[Finn Bálor]].At [[WrestleMania 38]] Night 2 on April 3, 2022, reigning Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated Raw's WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a [[Winner Takes All match]] to claim both championships and become recognized as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. WWE had billed the match as a championship unification match; however, both titles have remained independently active with Reigns being a double champion, defending both titles together across both brands as the [[Undisputed WWE Universal Championship]].<ref name="WM38N2">{{cite web|last=Keller|first=Wade|title=4/3 WWE WrestleMania 38 Results: Keller's detailed match report with analysis including Lesnar vs. Reigns, Edge vs. Styles, Knoxville vs. Sami, McAfee vs. Theory|url=https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2022/04/03/4-3-wwe-wrestlemania-38-results-kellers-detailed-match-report-with-analysis-including-lesnar-vs-reigns-edge-vs-styles-knoxville-vs-sami-mcafee-vs-theory/|date=April 3, 2022|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|access-date=April 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220404051833/https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2022/04/03/4-3-wwe-wrestlemania-38-results-kellers-detailed-match-report-with-analysis-including-lesnar-vs-reigns-edge-vs-styles-knoxville-vs-sami-mcafee-vs-theory/|archive-date=April 4, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> On the April 24, 2023, episode of ''Raw'', WWE Chief Content Officer [[Triple H]] announced that regardless of what brand Reigns was drafted to in the [[2023 WWE Draft]], he and his undisputed championship would become exclusive to that brand.

+The [[WWE Universal Championship]] is a men's [[professional wrestling]] [[World championship (professional wrestling)|world heavyweight championship]] created and promoted by the American [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] [[WWE]], defended on the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[WWE brand extension|brand division]]. The title was named in honor of WWE's fanbase, referred to as the [[WWE#Terminology|WWE Universe]], the championship was established on July 25, 2016, to be the top title of the Raw brand at the time. Its creation came as a result of the reintroduction of the brand split and subsequent [[2016 WWE draft|draft]] on July 19, 2016, in which the WWE Championship, the promotion's original world title, became exclusive to SmackDown. The inaugural Universal Champion was [[Finn Bálor]].At [[WrestleMania 38]] Night 2 on April 3, 2022, reigning Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated Raw's WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a [[Winner Takes All match]] to claim both championships and become recognized as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
