Bryan then took a couple joking shots at Raw introducing the Universal title, before adding he thinks it’s ultimately a good thing that Raw will have its own top title.

“It’s great having the only real World Champion on Smackdown”, Bryan said. “[Raw is] making a title that’s even bigger called the Universal title! It’s bigger! You’re the champion of the Galaxy!”
