WrestleVotes told GiveMeSport that WWE’s creative team is currently working to separate the two titles. WrestleVotes also stated that Vince McMahon’s regime didn’t have any long-term plan for Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. They further noted that the titles will be separated in July.
“This is the final mess, and you really can call it a mess. This is the final obstacle and the team is working to overcome that. There was never a plan when Roman Reigns won the titles a year ago. Triple H was handed this mess. By SummerSlam, there’s gonna be two titles.”
