Road Dogg Questions If Roman Reigns Is Still An Undisputed Champion
Is Roman Reigns really as 'undisputed' as his new WWE title claims?
Jun 20, 2023
On a recent episode of his podcast, Road Dogg spoke about WWE's new world titles, and wondered whether Roman Reigns can still be considered an undisputed champion.
After Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor to become the inaugural holder of the new World Heavyweight Championship title belt, WWE's other top champions all received new belts as well. Roman Reigns was given a new 'Undisputed' WWE Universal Title belt for passing 1,000 days as champion in his current reign. Asuka was given a white-strapped women's division equivalent, while over on Raw, Rhea Ripley has been granted a new World Heavyweight design - similar to Rollins' title belt.
Road Dogg explained his thoughts on this, stating:
"[Triple H] has always been a traditionalist, from his training with [Killer] Kowalski to his mentoring by [Ric] Flair. Everything he’s done has been with respect to tradition in this industry. You can’t just copy another title that was good. You don’t just go, 'Oh, people loved that one.' No, you have to be the innovator.
"So you’re going to have a World champion or WWE Champion or Universal Champion and a world champion. I’m not sure where the names exactly lay now, and is Roman Reigns still 'undisputed?' I think things like that are going to come out and are really intriguing to me. [...] I love the new titles. They’re huge. They’re beautiful, but yet they’re big and plain too, and I think that’s tradition. Look, we all went the way of the big eagle and the big spinner and the big this and the big that. I think [the new title belts] go back to what a championship title looks like."
