0:34.0

This is not Sam wrestling.

0:39.0

Introducing your host from New York. Here is Sam Roberts.

0:48.0

Well boy, oh boy, welcome to 4.45. Yes, hope everybody's doing great out there. Welcome to Not Sam Wrestling.

1:00.0

What a week. I hope you all enjoyed the draft that we put out of both raw and smack down. I would imagine that if you enjoyed the draft that you've seen on television, you probably enjoyed the draft that we did on Not Sam wrestling because boy, was it jarringly similar watching those name. It always gives me such satisfaction too. I love it.

1:23.0

Watching those names get called. Whoa Drew McIntyre is going here. Well, I just going to smack down what I was like if you would just listen. If you would and I don't claim to be making predictions.

1:35.0

If you listen to the show, you know, I never claim to be making predictions. I just go, here's what I would do and usually it's logical enough that it either happens or like three quarters of it happens.

1:51.0

And then you're left with the remaining 25% going, why didn't they just do what Sam does? I don't know. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't speak for anybody but myself. But I was happy that I was right with a bunch of stuff. Maybe not so much my far out stuff, but that's why it's far out. We got to take risks. We have to take risks. And I think the WWE took a risk on Monday.

2:15.0

The WWE announced the plan really for the position that they're in with the undisputed WWE Universal championship. For the last, what is it at this point?

2:33.0

970 something days at the point of this recording. Roman Reigns has, he's been on a reign of terror. He's combined the WWE and the Universal championship. And it's become, it's become one title for all intents and purposes. Now there is some debate. That's the first debate, right?

2:55.0

It's not just one title, but I believe that it is. I think that from the point that Roman took the WWE championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. Yeah, if you go to WWE.com, it's two different titles. And on WWE.com, it's got two different amount of days that Roman is hell those titles. But that's literally the only place in WWE lore where for some time,

3:24.0

those titles have been referred to separately. I think you can still break down separate lineages for the WWE championship and the Universal championship. But for all intents and purposes, the WWE undisputed Universal championship became one title. Paul Heyman started calling at that then commentator started calling at that. It was in match graphics. There's never been in the year.

3:53.0

In the year plus that Roman has held both titles. There's never been a match that's for one title or the other, even when the Usos had both the raw and the Smackdown tag team championships. Every now and then there were occasions where this match would be for the raw title. This match would be for the Smackdown title.

4:12.0

It was it was made clear a couple of times on commentary that the reason that the Usos were able to be on both shows is because they had both titles.

4:22.0

Whereas Roman was more referred to as the grand champion of all. And this has happened before, you know, right before the WWE's first brand split in December of whatever it was 2001.

4:41.0

Chris Jericho famously defeated both the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in a single night to bring together the WWE and the WCW championship. And while there hadn't been a draft split at the time.

4:58.0

Both of those titles had been defended as separate titles on WWE TV and from December until WrestleMania Chris Jericho was referred to as the WWE Undisputed Champion.

5:09.0

But he went to WrestleMania all the way up to WrestleMania with that title being represented by two physical belts. The big gold and the big Eagle attitude aerostyle WWE championship.

5:23.0

And then it was at WrestleMania 18 when Triple H won the title from Chris Jericho. That's when that title became one physical belt.
