Cody should win the new belt and then beat Roman for his belts and then become the wwe triple crown champion. I bet Dusty never even thought of doing that.

MJeff posted:So, one brand is gonna have Roman the most specialest boy of all time, who's never around and never does anything. I also can’t imagine the network that has the other belt is going to be happy that their championship is explicitly the lesser one. The whole point of having two world titles before this was so each show/network had a full set of champs. Combining them (and the tags) in the first place because they ran out of accomplishments to give Roman was incredibly dumb if they had no plans to even split them again.

Dusty didn't win this new belt either, but I bet he always wanted to do it.

That title is so bad. It looks like they just took big gold and welded the wwe plates on top of it. Also the side plates are on top of the old side plates. Its so loving lazy

Cody’s wanted to win this belt ever since he first saw it at the age of 9

This doesn't have any NWA or WCW title lineage other than looking kind of like it if you squint really hard. The WCW championship lineage (and the NWA lineage up until WCW split) was merged with the WWE/F lineage when Chris Jericho became Undisputed Champion. *That* championship eventually became the WWE Championship when HHH created the World Heavyweight Championship out of the ether so he could hold a belt (represented by a slightly modified Big Gold Belt) while the real one was on Smackdown. Those then merged together by Orton to become the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which was shortened back to just WWE Championship when they debuted the current belt (the black one). Then the Universal Championship was created from the ether to give Raw a belt while the real one was on Smackdown (sound familiar?). That one has swapped brands and colors and Roman currently holds it. And like, I get that it's wrestling so everything is exactly as prestigious and real as they want it to be, but if Cody's story is to win the big one his father never won, this ain't it. This also raises the question of who drafts Roman. He's now textually the greatest Superstar of all time, but also doesn't actually have to wrestle. You have first pick: do you take him?

Smackdown was always the show for the old fogies who don’t wanna wrestle as much so he’ll stay there I’m sure.

We joke about Punk going on an apology tour, but damned if he didn't actually make amends with the Miz, and would have done the same with Paul Triple H if Daddy Mustache hadn't said no

It's extremely funny that they booked themselves into a huge corner unifying the titles in the first place and realizing that Roman is gonna hold the belt forever. Triple H said as much on stage and instead of ya know fixing it by having Roman lose one they make a whole new gaping anus title. Lol and lmao

I am glad they are acknowledging that the Tribal Chief is just so cool and powerful that no one can defeat him so Loser Cody can get the fake, made-up belt.

I would not be at all surprised if they quietly changed Roman's belt's name back to the WWE or Universal Title and only had him come out with one belt.

I think a lot of people mistake “we want to see Punk apologise” as a feeling that the elite are owed an apology when actually for many goons it would just be really funny to watch CM Punk forced to eat poo poo in public
