Am I the only one who hates when the names of wrestling championships don't sound like real, official championships from combat sports like MMA or boxing?
World Heavyweight Championship, Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship, Tag Team, Cruiserweight....those are fine
But Universal Championship? TNT/TBS Championship? Digital Media Championship? Come on, who's supposed to take those belts seriously?
Am I alone in my autism for not liking this?

If tnt/TBS means television champ and had a stipulation of two TV defenses per month or something it'd work but yeah I agree

I can't STAND brand-specific main roster championships
The NXT heavyweight belt, NXT tag belts, etc....those make sense since NXT is essentially the minor league of the company
But imagine fighting to get a title on the main roster that essentially says "I'm the best out of half of all the wrestlers in this division"
I liked how at one point the WWE cruiserweight belt stayed on Smackdown. It led to a concentration of cruiserweights on that show which gave one brand a different flavor from the other brand

Nope, agreed
Only exceptions are joke belts like the Hardcore/24-7 titles which clearly weren't meant to be taken seriously

Agree for the most part. One nitpick is the Digital Media title is definitely supposed to be a meme. You wrestle matches with keyboards, cell phones, video game systems, etc. It’s a mix of hardcore/comedy relief matches.

No.
But I do think that “Country” championships are dumb especially if the company already has an intercontinental belt.

I shoot understand the concept of a Universal title more than an Intercontinental title.

Universal = champion of the WWE Universe(TM)
Intercontinental = champion of all the continentals… so the world?

When I think about “Universal” I think about Universal studios in Orlando? It sounds so stupid. Just call it undisputed WWE or heavyweight championship

>Raw
>has the women's title, and therefore has the top women wrestlers in the company along with a few female jobbers
>since it doesn't have tag titles, the only tag matches are random singles face teams vs. random singles heel teams (e.g. Cody and Sami vs. Reigns and Solo), no proper tag teams
>Smackdown
>has the tag titles, and therefore has the actual tag teams of the company (e.g. Alpha Academy, Street Profits) along with a few jobber teams
>Since it doesn't have a women's division, keep most of the eye candy/valet/stable-involved women on the show, maybe the occasional women's match between them just for the hell of it despite no title goal. Also maybe have lower-tier female wrestlers have matches to try to build themselves until they're ready to go to the next brand for the women's title
