The Universal Championship has officially been retired by WWE, marking the end of an era for one of the company’s top World Titles in recent history.
As confirmed by WWE.com, the championship—which was first introduced in 2016—is now listed as retired on the official website.
The Universal Title debuted at SummerSlam 2016, where Finn Bálor became the inaugural champion. However, Bálor was forced to relinquish the title just one day later after suffering an injury during the match.
Initially exclusive to RAW, the championship was moved to SmackDown in 2019 as part of the WWE Draft. It was later unified with the WWE Championship by Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, creating what is now known as the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The unified title is currently held by 17-time World Champion John Cena.
