Roman Reigns has been the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion since defeating Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 38 Night Two main event. The status of being a dual champion could have finally come to an end as WWE tweaked his status as a champion on their official website.
Roman Reigns won Universal Championship at Payback in 2020 and then the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, to get recognized as the undisputed champion. However, there were speculations about whether his two belts were considered separate championships or one singular championship like the previous WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The website has since combined the titles and unified them as The Tribal Chief is now being listed as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
