They said the titles were unified into the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship but both titles are listed as separate on the website with the picture being Roman holding both. I'd guess he carries both belts around for a while, finally gets beaten only for Heyman to reveal fine print in the contract that it was the WWE title only, therefore splitting the belts again and keeping his Universal title run going.
There's no actual need for two World champions. The main reason they ever did it was for periods of time where they actually kept Raw and SmackDown completely separate including their own house shows and PPVs. But those days have been over for a while. Even when they still had split brand house shows, Lesnar was never defending the title on the Raw shows. So one World title is fine, but WWE can't help but default to excess so expect them to be split again soon enough.
