>>11077247>>11077248The belts really matter and that's something we haven't been able to say for years. WWE was a mess between 2015 and 2021 where everybody got to be a champion. WWE's version of "stat padding" is basically just giving out title reigns. It sounds cool to say someone is a ten time WWE champion, even if most of those title runs were shitty. Even midcarders like Miz and Kofi are elevated in the sense that they're former world champions. But whoever does beat the current crop of champions will really get over for doing so.
