WWE Reportedly Dealing with Creative Issues Over Plans for Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

WWE reportedly is currently dealing with creative-related issues regarding their potential future plans for Roman Reigns and his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, according to WrestleVotes.

It was reported that their sources described these creative issues as being “complex” due to WWE officials had booked themselves in a corner over the direction for their WWE and Universal Championships.

WWE officials reportedly currently are conflicted over wanting the WWE and Universal Championships to be split back as separate titles for next year’s “Mania season” and WrestleMania 39 event itself but also do not want Reigns losing either belt or “at all” prior to next year’s WrestleMania event.

It was also reported that Paul “Triple H” Levesque and other WWE officials are currently open to all creative ideas to resolve this dilemma.

The situation w/ the world titles & Roman Reigns is “complex” according to a source. They would like to go into “Mania season” & WrestleMania itself with 2 champions, but they also don’t want Reigns losing AT ALL prior. I’m told HHH & co are open to all things creatively here.
