4. The WWE Universal Championship

The WWE Universal Championship is quite possibly the most hated championship of all time, at least appearance wise. While the now-defunct Diva’s Championship is certainly right there with it, the Universal title was met with such a negative response when it was unveiled that it took attention away from what was a fantastic match between Seth Rollins and Finn Balor.

To be fair, much of that can be blamed on the fans for not getting over themselves. The title was and is ugly, sure, but that shouldn’t have been the focus. Rollins and Balor put on an absolute show, yet when Balor went to grab the title after his victory to celebrate a meteoric rise to the top of WWE, he was booed because he was grabbing an ugly championship. That’s inexcusable.

All that aside, the belt is still ugly, and it and whoever designed it deserve to be on the list. Although people seem to be getting used to it, the red is simply too much. Not only that, but the design is extremely boring as it simply copied the WWE World Championship. The brand split was implemented to make Raw and SmackDown feel different, so why should their championships be designed with the same template? The same goes for the Women’s and Tag Team titles, but the Universal title set this precedent. The design is just a huge missed opportunity. So Universal title…

You just made the list!
