Last night at WWE SummerSlam, RAW and SmackDown authority figures Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley finally unveiled the new Universal Championship.
Fans in attendance at the Barclays Center were outspoken about the title, disrupting the Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins match with chants mocking its design. Seth Rollins, who lost to Finn Balor, was outspoken about the live reaction:
More important than a title's appearance is what it represents for the men fighting over it. You really let me down tonight, Brooklyn.

The Universal Championship is now available for pre-order at WWEShop.com but will not be arriving until December 12th.
Here are some more reactions from social media.
Has the Women's Title been #BROKEN?
