History
The General Manager of Friday Night Mayhem Carari Grey first announced the introduction of the Universe Championship several weeks before WrestleMania, stating that every singles champion on the brand would sacrifice their titles and compete for one undisputed belt in the main event of the Pay-Per-View.
The first Universe Champion was DJ Hipp. To win the title Hipp had to relinquish the DXX World Heavyweight Championship and DXX Hardcore Championship, Kenny Dykstra his DXX United States Championship and The Rock surrendered his DXX Television Championship as part of the match. Floyd Mayweather was also brought into the match to make it an 'All or Nothing Fatal 4 Way' match. Hipp was the eventual winner of the match, claiming the gold. Hipp's first title defence was against Mr McMahon at the Road To Redemption Pay-Per-View, where he successfully retained his title.
After successfully defending the DXX Universe Tag Team Championships with his partner Dykstra the recently suspended Doctor Cube made a surprise return and immediately challenged DJ Hipp to a match at the Eye For An Eye Pay-Per-View event, which Carari Grey made official moments later. Cube picked up a surprising victory over his opponent to begin his reign as Champion, and his first defence was at the One Night Stand Pay-Per-View. Originally the match was supposed to feature Cube against both general manager Carari Grey and DJ Hipp in a handicap match made by the returning Assassin, and in a shock move he made it a 'Pit of Death' match. However it was later overturned by the board of directors and the match instead featured Cube defending against DJ Hipp, Slain and Randy Orton in a Fatal 4 Way Pit of Death match instead.
DJ Hipp successfully won the Pit of Death match at One Night Stand to begin his second reign as Universe Champion, and successfully defended in in an awkward match against fellow Immortal Sinner Kenny Dykstra (also with FleX as the special guest referee) on the July 18th episode of Mayhem.

Controversy
The Universe Championship was shrouded in controversy when it was first announced, mainly because every title on the Friday Night Mayhem brand of DXX was made defunct in one night to make way for one title. Several Superstars were unhappy with only one title compared to Monday Night Massacre's four, however Carari Grey promised more new titles in the future to make up for the loss of the originals including the DXX Millennium Championship, DXX Trans-Continental Championship and DXX Universe Tag Team Championships.
On the Friday April 4th edition of Friday Night Mayhem Carari Grey officially announced these new titles, much the the delight of fans and Superstars alike.
