John Morrison: The Miz & I Talked About Cutting Universal Title In Half If We Win At WWE Backlash

John Morrison and The Miz have discussed a number of things to do with the Universal Championship if they beat Braun Strowman at Backlash.

The two of them are set to face Strowman for the Universal Championship at the Backlash pay-per-view in a handicap match. Should the former SmackDown Tag Team Championship win the match and the title, they could become co-champions. Speaking to GameSpot, Morrison said he and The Miz have talked about what to do with the title, from cutting the belt in half to even making a pendant out of it.

However, they also discussed the possibility that whoever got to pin Strowman would be the sole champion and the one who didn't pin him got the first right to the title.

"We've talked about it both ways. Co-champions would be nice. We could cut the belt in half and make some sort of a Universal Championship pendant. Sell that as merchandise, and probably get a really nice royalty check for that. Or the other way we were thinking it is whoever gets the fall would win. If I win--if I beat Braun--then Miz would get the first shot at me. Or if Miz pins Braun, then I would get the first shot at him," Morrison said.

Backlash will take place at the WWE Performance Center on June 14 and Fightful will have live coverage of the show.
