In June 2016, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship reverted to being called the WWE Championship before WWE reintroduced the brand extension the following month. The WWE Champion was drafted to SmackDown and it was renamed the WWE World Championship though reverted to WWE Championship in December 2016. In response, Raw created their own world championship, the WWE Universal Championship. With this, WWE no longer has an undisputed world champion as there are multiple world championships in the promotion again, as in addition to the WWE Championship and Universal Championship, there is also the NXT Championship of the promotion's former developmental territory NXT, which became WWE's third main brand in 2019 and its championship was elevated to world title status.
