5 titles WWE should bring back

In 2018, there is seemingly more title gold in the WWE than ever before, with each brand having a main championship, secondary title, individual tag team championships, and a women's title each.

When you throw in the cruiserweight titles, the gold in NXT, and the upcoming NXT UK titles, there are currently 19 superstars in the company with gold strapped around their waist.

Whilst the idea of more titles may seem like overkill, there are some classic straps that could bring new life to the WWE roster.

Here are 5 titles the WWE should bring back.

#5 Women's Tag Team Championships

For months now, there has been speculation over the forming of a women's tag team championships, in the company's consistent goal of bridging the equality divide between male and female stars.

But did you know these titles briefly existed in WWE already?

Existing for 6 years in the 1980s, the titles only switched hands a couple of times, almost always on house shows.

The only time the fans got to see a title switch on TV took place at the 1988 Royal Rumble, which saw the Jumping Bomb Angels end the record-setting 906-day reign of the Glamour Girls.

With plenty of female alliances in WWE at the moment, (Bella Twins, IIconics, Rousey/Natalya, Riott Squad etc), expect these titles to make a return very soon.

#4 The Hardcore Championship

Okay, let's be honest. The title, if brought back, would not be the bloodied Hardcore bouts of the Attitude Era, but that doesn't mean the duct-tape covered title would be without merit.

The return of the title could see the return of the 24/7 rule, with superstars being shown backstage clambering for the title, which would allow them featured time on WWE TV.

With the company now aimed towards more family-friendly programming, the title may need a name change, but the rules and history of it would be a welcome return.

#3 A Television/Network Championship

In 2015, one of the most interesting parts of RAW, was the John Cena US Championship Open Challenge. Each week, the Cenation leader would defend the gold, in highly entertaining matches.

A TV title could have a guaranteed weekly title match clause, which would not only make for great viewing, but could give some of WWE's workhorses time to shine as singles stars, on a much larger scale (I'm looking at you Chad Gable)

The title existed in ECW, famously held for 23 months by RVD. Van Dam can still go, though not to the same extent as his 1997 days. Maybe he could resurrect the gold, if he was ever to return.

Maybe even have the title only defended on the Network, if they want to keep up to date.

#2 The European Championship

The Swiss-Superman poses with the old title.

There was a time when anyone from outside the United States or Canada, would be saddled with the stereotypical heel-foreigner gimmick.

Whether it's a British Ambassador like William Regal, a Frech snob like Rene Dupree or a colossal monster like Giant Gonzales, foreigners have always received the short end of the stick.

The European championship would've been great for Rusev, especially during his first reign as US Champion, when he was beating pro-America superstars such as Mark Henry and Jack Swagger.

Whilst the Bulgarian has moved on from the gimmick, it would still be amazing to see the gold return.

#1 A Custom Championship

When the Million Dollar Man was unable to win the WWE Championship, he did the only logical thing: he used his vast fortune to create his own title.

Whilst custom championships have VERY rarely been used, the titles have worked amazingly well. Even a change of a current title can have meaning, look at Edge's Rated R Spinner belt of the Miz's upside-down WWE Championship.

How incredible would it be to see The A-Lister capture the title from Styles, only to wear it upside down, spitting in the face of decades of tradition.
