WWE Set To Add a New World Championship?

The latest in my news articles seems to be one of the biggest I have ever covered. The WWE creative team is in talks about creating another World Championship. The WWE would have four if it was done.

According to wrestlenewz.com "There are said to have been discussions among at least one or two people within WWE creative about the idea of building up to a single world title and champion who would headline every PPV and defend against wrestlers on both brands.

The reason this has been discussed is that back in the time when titles were over with wrestling fans they knew who “the champ” was as there was only one top guy. This doesn’t happen now with two separate world champions on two separate brands.

Since the creation of two world titles, one for each television show, many feel the company essentially created two Intercontinental champions instead of two credible world champions.

The basis for this is that in the 1980s the Intercontinental title was used to main event house shows and drew well, but on its own wasn’t going to sellout major arenas. While some title matches in the brand era have drawn well, most haven’t meant a thing when looking at PPV buyrates.

The general feeling is that the generation of wrestling fans today no longer see the world title as fans may have 10, 20 or even 30 years ago. Instead they see it as a prop and nothing more.

It should be noted that when this idea was brought up to Vince McMahon he was said to be completely negative on the idea. So it doesn’t appear there are any plans to go in this direction anytime soon.

However it was liked before considering they did have an Undisputed Championship a while back. It was defended on RAW and SmackDown and all of the WWE had a shot at the Title.

The way it stopped was that the Champion got drafted to a show, which made the title go along with him. Then the other show had no World Title and made another. Which was known as the World Title we saw in WCW.

The Undisputed Title was on SmackDown and then called the WWE Championship. Of course if the title was created it would leave one brand out in ECW. So would they get rid of all World Titles and have another Undisputed Title?

I am not sure, but I can tell you we currently have three. So another would be to much in my opinion. Plus they couldn't get rid of the US or IC Title because of the history in the titles.

So the Titles that would go would be the brand's World Titles. What is your opinion on the WWE getting another World Championship?
