Can anyone explain why the Cruiserweight Championship had "of the World" afterwards, never understood why?

Probably to seem important.

Technically, any championship that doesn't have a location in its name is "of the world."

...Because it was?
I don't get the question.
WWE Championship, US Championship, IC Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship all refer to the place they are chaampion so they aren't "world titles".
It wasn't the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, it was the World Criuserweight Championship (or CW Championship of the World) because it was of a whole division that transcended WWE.

As others have said, I would guess that it was because it wasn't the "WWE Cruiserweight Championship" given that it borrowed the lineage of the WCW Cruiserweight belt, right?
