The new title becomes the 16th active championship in WWE. There are currently 5 NXT championships in the company while the main roster already has eleven although the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships have been unified since 2022.
The longest-reigning current champion in WWE by quite some distance is Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns will put his WWE Universal Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40.
