Just noticed over the past few weeks that ALL of the champions in the company are faces. Faces that continually don't defend their championships often (for the most part).
WWE Champion: CM Punk
World Heavyweight Champion: Sheamus
WWE Tag Team Champions: Kofi Kingston & R-Truth
WWE Intercontinental Champion: Christian
WWE United States Champion: Santino Marella
WWE Divas Champion: Layla
Could that be another reason that the WWE has reached a "ugh" point again? WWE's peak this year had Punk as WWE Champion and Air Boom as the Tag Team Champions... but you still had Beth and Cody with the Divas and IC titles (respectively).
Hoping Ziggler being hold the briefcase for the World Heavyweight Championship will turn things around a little bit and maybe The Primetime Players getting the win over Kofi and Truth?
Thoughts?

That tag titles and divas belt are both from largely irrelevant divisions, so they really don't see any screen time. The US and IC belts are also frequently relegated to unimportant status. The only 2 belts that WWE says you should care about are the top titles, but even then there's a lack of people with enough support or gravitas to hold them.

I'm still happy with CM Punk as WWE Champion. I want him to beat Cena's record actually. Now that Ziggler has the MITB briefcase, I just can't wait to have Sheamus lose his title, but I can deal with him still being the champion, since I'm all for long reigns for most part. I don't like Marella as champion. He should be nowhere near the US title. Christian is someone who I hoped dropped his title to go to the main event scene. I'm fine with Kingston and R-Truth, they are entertaining. I don't care about the divas, but I think Layla's hot, so yeah.

Agreed. The only ones that any has anyone reason to care about are Punk and Sheamus. Christian had no reason to be put over Cody at Over the Limit, Kofi and Truth should've never beaten Primo and Epico... especially since there seems to be more focus on the feud between P&E and The Primetime Players, at this moment. Don't even get me started on Santino beating Swagger for the title, after only defending it once before that (against Gabriel). Let alone Ryder never should have dropped it to Swagger in the first place.
Maybe it's time some titles get unified, so that creative can focus on their champions and championships meaning more?
They are building up to Ziggler's eventual cash in on Sheamus, but definitely did it the wrong way. Having Sheamus beat him numerous times, cleanly.
CM Punk's reign is really being done well, with quality opponents and matches week in and week out. Sadly, I see that all coming to an end soon, with Cena's cash in.

WWE just needs to start actually doing something with each division to make the Champions seem important.
Out of that list, the only Champion that matters, in my opinion, is Punk. I like his feud with Bryan. I like what's going on with AJ.
Sheamus has always been kind of dull to me. I could care less about anything he does, especially when he's feuding with Del Rio, who I could also care less about. I desperately hope Ziggler takes that title.
Kofi and R-Truth...I'm not even sure why they're teaming. Why do they just give Kofi random partners and then give him the tag titles? The tag division is irrelevant in WWE, unfortunately. I'd like to see Epico and Primo with the titles and sort of build the division around them. With the Prime Time Players, Kidd & Gabriel, and eventually The Ascension. R-Truth is one of the guys who I just...can't stand as a wrestler. And they should go back to having Kofi be Jamaican. At least then he had something unique about him.
I didn't even realize Christian was the IC Champion. Oops. He should obviously be in the Main Event.
Santino as US Champion...this is kind of a title that I've never cared about. I'd rather see just the IC Title or bring back the Cruiserweight belt.
I kind of figured having Layla as Diva's Champion wouldn't make anyone care about the division. Especially since they just make her the typical smiling, babyface instead of giving her a character. That and the fact that she doesn't have a feud and isn't on TV often...it just doesn't make sense as to why she's the Champion. It's a shame because she proved she can play a character and she's stepped it up in the ring. With girls like Nattie, Beth, AJ, Kharma (if she isn't released) Paige, Sofia Cortez and Naomi in the WWE...there's no reason why they can't have another killer women's division.

They need to build up the divisions and have Contenderships matches much more often, Santino Marella is the worst offender of current champions, he hasn't done anything worth while.

Give Rhodes the US Title at NOC and have Christian drop the IC Title to The Miz at SummerSlam (Even though Miz sucks it'll give both Titles more prestige and credibility).

Santino is funny but he is not championship material and he hardly ever defends it.

I always forget that Layla is Diva's Champion.
Santino should definitely NOT be U.S. Champion.
I think everything else is fine though.

I think Punk is doing amazing as WWE champion. I honestly can't think of one bad match he has had as champion. Keep him as champion for a while and I'd be happy. Fans just seem to get bored easily.

CM Punk is the best in the company so him being champion is a no brainer. The only thing I could see is him losing it to Bryan to continue their feud. That seems like a huge problem with thins these days is there are no long term feuds. You might have guys wrestle at 2 or 3 PPVs and then they are done working each other. It isn't too farfetched to think that the Punk/Cena feud from a year ago could still be going on. Punk and Jericho should have went a little longer than it did. The WWE needs to do a better job at building feuds and establishing more people as contenders. Have Christian continue a feud with Cody and not pu them in tag matches against each other. Have Santino actually feud with someone that could use the belt to get some airtime. The more you showcase these guys the better off everything will be. They need to have fairly strict divisions and feud within those divisions. Instead of having your 2 face champions(Santino and Christian) tagging against say Rhodes and whoever you should have 3 or 4 guys that every week have their own little feud over the US title and then 3 or 4 guys that have their own feud over the IC title and don't worry about those useless tag matches and meaningless matches that they seem to fill TV with. If they would actually take the time to build up the mid card talent then they would be relevant. Instead of that they put people in these nonsense matches just to fill up 2 hours of television and really not advancing any meaningful storylines.
