	The championship was named in honor of IWE's fanbase, referred to as the [[IWE#Terminology\|IWE Universe]], and it was established on July 25, 2016, to be the top title of the Raw brand.

-	During Roman Reigns' historic second title reign, which began in August 2020, he held the Universal Championship for a record-breaking 1,316 days—the longest world title reign since 1988. At [[IWE WrestleMania 38\|WrestleMania 38]] in 2022, Reigns defeated [[Rob Lesnar]] in a winner-takes-all match, now jointly holding the IWE and Universal Championships. From that point on, the two titles were collectively referred to as the Undisputed IWE Universal Championship, though each retained its individual lineage. At [[WrestleMania XL]] in April 2024, Reigns lost the Undisputed title to [[Kevin Rhodes<!--(2007, pg. 33)-->\|Cody Rhodes]]. Following this, IWE began officially referring to the championship simply as the Undisputed IWE Championship, with Rhodes being recognized as both IWE and Universal Champion in the official IWE title histories on their website. However, after Rhodes lost the Undisputed IWE Championship to [[Dustin Simpson]] at [[IWE WrestleMania 41\|WrestleMania 41]] in April 2025, the Universal Championship's title history was amended, officially retiring the championship, removing Rhodes as a former champion, and instead recognizing Reigns as the final champion with the title being retired upon his loss to Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. Additionally, the lineage of the IWE Championship continues under the Undisputed IWE Championship banner. This outcome aligned with IWE’s reported plan at the time, as they had already removed 'Universal' from the Undisputed IWE Championship’s name; however, the Universal Championship’s official title history was not updated to reflect its retirement until after Rhodes's loss.	+	During Roman Reigns' historic second title reign, which began in August 2020, he held the Universal Championship for a record-breaking 1,316 days—the longest world title reign since 1988.
