#1 It makes them seem more special

When antique hunters find a rare item, it makes it more special because there aren't so many of them. The value is higher due to fewer being available to the masses. With wrestling, there are usually four main titles in a promotion - the World Championship, the Women's title, a mid-card belt and tag team titles.

In a company as big as WWE, there are two sets of four titles each for RAW and SmackDown. At various times in the last few years, there were also the 24/7 Championship and the Cruiserweight title. Altogether, that was 10 titles on the main roster.

WWE has about 10-15 teams on its roster and that means that almost every one of those teams has a chance to hold the gold with two sets of belts. Adding another worthy team into the mix every once and a while works so that we aren't always having the same Champions.

Only one set of titles would make them more prestigious as every team would be gunning for them. It would make qualifying matches to challenge for them more meaningful. WWE could also cut out the usual "the challenger has pinned the Champion" tactic that is often used to build to a potential title match.

With Brock Lesnar as a part-time Champion, it was frustrating because he was not a weekly presence on TV. But what it did do was make any time he did show up seem even more special. The title wasn't defended every month, making the times it was defended all the more important.

If WWE only had one set of titles, it would also allow the Champions to moonlight on both shows and have feuds with a varied lot of teams. The pairings would be determined by the PPV cycle, but it would allow WWE a lot of freedom creatively.
