3 Championship Belts That Should Exist in WWE

WWE belts

There is a range of different title belts in the WWE that signify different things. These belts are the driving force that makes wrestlers work hard and keep improving until they grab hold of their dream title.

A championship is the most attractive aspect of any promotion, after a wrestler himself, as it is the elusive entity around which the whole storyline is based in most cases. Athletes feud with each other to get possession of these titles.

Therefore, no pro wrestling fan can imagine watching a wrestling show without any top prize in it. With that said, let's look at three title belts that I think should be there in the WWE today.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

3. Unified Tag Team Championship

I think we all can agree that the tag team division looked much stronger when there was only one championship title for the whole division. Right now, even though there is some competition on Smackdown, the overall appeal of the tag team division is pretty unconvincing.

The entire summer, the belt was not a part of a single good storyline.

On Raw, Deleters Of Worlds carried the belts but did not generate the amount of audience interest that was initially expected. Afterwards, they conceded them to the B-Team, who made the championship titles even more 'irrelevant'.

On SmackDown, the Bludgeon Brothers have not quite got 'over' with the fans despite holding the tag titles.

To give it a fresh twist, WWE should revert to the time when there used to be a unified Tag Team Championship for the tag team division on both the shows.

The belts can then be contested for, amongst the stables, on both brands. The greater number of inter-brand tag matches that will happen following the unification carry the potential for investing the audience's interest back into tag team wrestling.

2. Women's Tag Team Championship

WhatCulture reported in July that WWE is potentially planning to introduce a tag team championship for the women's division. Even though this rumour has not yet been confirmed, the idea actually makes sense considering the ongoing Women's Revolution, and this can be the next big step in this movement.

Besides, I think the women wrestlers need this now more than ever because there are only two titles in the whole of WWE, for them to fight for--just one title on each brand. This severe lack of another championship leaves behind many female performers, who may not currently be in the Raw/SmackDown Women's Championship picture.

Even at this moment, the creative are focusing heavily on the women's title rivalry on each brand, leaving talented wrestlers like Sasha Banks, Bayley, Naomi, and Ember Moon out in the cold without any reasonable, rewarding feud.

With the introduction of the tag belts, the all-women stables would be able to fight together for something meaningful.

1. Unified Universal/WWE Championship

After
After the brand split, SmackDown was given the WWE title whereas Raw gave birth to the Universal title.

Currently, the two shows have their own heavyweight champion. On one hand, Raw boasts the Universal Championship, whereas on the other hand, Smackdown flaunts the WWE Championship. However, two heavyweight belts in the same promotion makes the least sense.

Neither belt feels as prestigious as it should, thanks to the fact the other show has an equally significant counterpart. Therefore, WWE should unify the two belts to retain the true importance of the top title in the company.

Each brand already has its own mid-card title in the form of Raw's Intercontinental Championship and SmackDown's United States Championship, which is more than enough for the wrestlers. Two top men's prize only make things more complicated for the fans as no one can argue about who the top male wrester is due to there being two of them technically.

Unifying the twin titles of the two brands would also help reduce the title match inflation on the pay-per-view matchcards.
