I understand where your coming from but at the same time less is more. Not everyone should be involved in title feuds and when they do finally have a title shot it will be special because that's how a title holder in WWE should feel. Having two of the same title ruins it's aura and it downgrades the champions. For example look at Austin and Bret Hart when they were champion they were on top of the entire company but the likes of Edge and Batista were only the champion of a show which didn't have the same impact as being the company's actual champion. As I said previous having a cross brand champion creates more feuds. Watching Nakamura and Joe lose 100 times to AJ Styles was not fun. Austin and Hitman were Champion before WWE bought the competition and suddenly had a gigantic roster. To me Edge or Batista as World Champion never felt diminished just because Cena was over on RAW also as a Champion. Having one Champion has worked fine at some points but no way it would now. Remember when Brock was THE Champion from Aug 2014 - March 2015? When absolutely no one had any real direction because what were they fighting for? Or any RAW from Mania 33 until now. Apart from a few months last year RAW hasn't had a World Title and it's suffered. As for creating more feuds, how? Does each World Title feud last for 3 weeks between PPVs?

OK at present there are 4 World titles and quite frankly that is beyond an overkill. There should be one mens World title and one women's and that would put the champions on top of the entire company instead of being a show champion which simply doesn't have the same feel. Now lets look at the current mens World titles. If you exclude Roman's short reign you could say that Raw hasn't had a top champion in 2 years while over on Smackdown when we have constantly seen the same repetitive matches. When AJ was champion he had constant rematches with KO, Nakamura and Joe and that hurt them when they lost multiple times. But if the title hadn't been restricted to Smackdown we could've seen AJ challenge Raw stars which would give us fresh matches and feuds. Now lets move on to the Women's titles. At present the entire company is all about the Raw women's title while The Smackdown one is basically non existent and Asuka hasn't appeared in weeks so is there really any need for two women's belts? The mens tag titles also needs to be unified because one could easily accommodate both Raw and Smackdown teams. And this finally leaves us with the mid card belts. Admittedly the IC has have pretty good booking recently but the US one has been a joke. Nakamura rarely appeared and Truth hasn't been seen in 2 weeks so if Road Dogg can't find time for the US title on Smackdown the champion could easily have feuds on Raw. With the women's tag titles being cross branded I honestly feel that this should be the beginning for all the titles. I would unify the men's and women's World titles and the men's tag titles and maybe even introduce a mid card title for the women. Champions in the WWE should feel super important and sadly being a show champion doesn't have the same effect as being a main WWE champion. Four World Titles? The Universal on RAW and the WWE Title on SmackDown. That's two pal. The Women's Titles have never really been counted as World Championships by WWE. Having one World Championship and one Women's Championship to me would suck. Does say Drew have a long reign and Seth, Roman if he's able to return, Braun, Lashley, Finn and others face him in feuds and never have a chance as champion or does everyone have a six week reign? Same for the Women's Title. It'd be either Alexa/Becky/Charlotte/Ronda > everyone else for months and months. Everyone would yearn for Drew or Becky to win and three months into their reign there would be nothing but constant bitching about them hogging the main event. If Seth, Finn or Braun aren't in the World Title picture that pushes them down to the Intercontinental or United States picture which pushes lower card guys out the way like Andrade, Aleister, Ricochet, Elias, Miz, Jeff, Kofi which would lead to more backlash against WWE for "burying them" I believe is the phrase. Asuka doesn't appear for 3 weeks because logically who would she have faced at Elimination Chamber? The majority of SmackDown's women's division was involved in the Women's Tag Title Chamber match. I'd rather she not appear to keep some mystique and intrigue then have her face ing Lana. The Tag division on RAW has been more miss than hit lately while SmackDown has been great. You have one Tag Title again and we follow the same pattern. Revival hold the titles for five months and everyone will be frustrated that Heavy Machinery, The Usos, The Bar, War Raiders and The Undisputed Era whenever they come up won't get a shot. Same for the midcard. I've been hating the short Intercontinental Title reigns and Nakamura was handled poorly as United States Champion but with two popular baby faces as champion that always get good reactions this will bring more attention to the titles. R-Truth hasn't appeared for two weeks to sell a beat down by Rusev and Nakamura and what would he have done at Elimination Chamber? 3 minute open challenge against Ellsworth? You want to unify everything which limits opportunities for everyone. Saying there's too many titles in WWE to me is wrong. RAW Titles appear and are defended ONLY on RAWSmackDown Titles appear and are defended ONLY on SmackDown205 Live Title(s) appear and are defended ONLY on 205 Live - Never know if they'll change their mind about the Cruiserweight Tags which would be competed for by Cruiserweights only. NXT Titles appear and are defended ONLY on NXT - Haven't even made appearances on NXT UK as of yet. NXT UK Titles appear and are defended ONLY on NXT UK - Haven't even made appearances on NXT as of yet.

Loved Lars in NXT. But kinda like Nia if he's not going to be champion what else can he do?
He should be on SmackDown where he could be the only giant.

I'd like to see it return as a Survivor Series type show. Teams of 5 facing each other all leading to the last two teams which hopefully every year won't be Team USA - RAW vs Team USA - SDLive.
Maybe have the teams consist of men and women as not every international team would have enough men or women to make up the 5 members. Could be something like
1. Team Australia: Buddy Murphy, Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm and The Mighty vs Team Japan: Akira Tozawa, Hideo Itami, Io Shirai, Kairi Sane and Shinsuke Nakamura. 2. Team UK: Charlie Morgan, "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher, Jinny, Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate vs Team USA - RAW: Alexa Bliss, Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, Ember Moon and Seth Rollins. 3. Team Canada: Bobby Roode, Maryse, Natalya, Sami Zayn and The Miz representing Canada because of Maryse. Also because The Marine was filmed there. Probably. Vs Team USA - SDLive: AJ Styles, Carmella, Charlotte, Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe.
And probably a Mexico team, Team representing Europe, maybe a NXT US Team and a Team Worldwiiiiiiiide featuring any left over talent.

I like the idea of Zack going to 205. The weight issue could be addressed with Maverick revealing that the Cruiserweight Division will now follow the Japanese rules where anyone under 220 pounds is considered a Junior Heavyweight/Cruiserweight.
That could lead to Cedric and the others going against that idea as they all had to drop down and make sure they stuck to a certain weight, now Maverick is just gonna let these other guys come in and try to latch onto the buzz 205 is slowly gaining. Maverick could tell them restricting a weight limit cancelled the possibility of some underrated talent getting a chance to show what they're capable of.
Plus guys like Hawkins and Ryder working 205 would be a great chance to bring in the Cruiserweight Tags at some point.
But a new name would be needed. WWE High Flying? WWE Wrestling? WWE Purple NXT?

If Jericho keeps doing his podcast when Taker retires I think we could see/hear him on there. I'd love to see him in the e and c podcast. They are incredibly entertaining and with the edge and taker program, I think it would make for a great pod. But can you imagine the Birdman trying to put himself over Taker constantly? Caw caw

I thought they were going to do them at baseball stadiums starting next year? The Rumble is taking place in a stadium next year, so maybe they want to ease into the big 4 potentially all taking place in stadiums.

Takeover: War Games II (Survivor Series weekend)War Games: Aleister Black, War Raiders and EC3 vs The Undisputed Era NXT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs Velveteen Dream NXT North American Championship: Ricochet (c) vs Lars Sullivan NXT Women's Championship: Kairi Sane (c) vs Bianca Belair Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic Matt Riddle vs Takeover: Phoenix (Rumble Weekend)NXT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs Aleister Black vs Velveteen Dream vs Johnny Gargano NXT North American Championship: Ricochet (c) vs Keith LeeNXT Tag Team Championship: The Undisputed Era (c) vs War RaidersNXT Women's Championship: Kairi Sane (c) vs Rhea RipleyAdam Cole vs Matt RiddleCrowd appearance: Takeover: Brooklyn V (Mania weekend)NXT Championship: Velveteen Dream (c) vs Aleister Black NXT North American Championship: Keith Lee (c) vs Matt Riddle NXT Tag Team Championship: War Raiders (c) vs Undisputed Era vs British Strong StyleNXT Women's Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs Io Shirai Tommaso Ciampa vs Wouldn't mind this. WarGames II should be the main event of TakeOver WarGames II for me. WALTER seems pretty set on not signing with WWE and working his own thing so not sure who, if anyone I'd have be the free agent in Phoenix. I guess as a fellow Adelaidean I should be all for Rhea getting the Title, not sure if Kairi should have a by NXT standards short reign though.

Unfortunately they may not be mentioning it right now, because they are grieving and Twitter or social media might be the LAST thing on their minds. However I am still hoping beyond hope this isn't the case and Jim is healthy and hearty. All my childhood heroes are going...and too young. This is worth repeating - if true, this news appears to be brand, brand new. The last thing on the minds of Nattie, Bret, TJ, etc. may well be the furthest thing from their present concerns. This place got vile waiting for WWE to mention Brian Christopher's passing when that was still new and in question. Best not to repeat old habits. In no way do I mean to try and disrespect the Hart family if this has happened with "HEY GET ON TWITTER", I just thought it would be best to wait for news from someone in the family.

Haven't seen Nattie or any other Hart member confirm this so hoping Blair just has the wrong information.

Shawn may feel better than ever and be thinking he hasn't missed a step or anything like that. But as IRS said it's been over eight years and he's 52.
No matter how much he may train or do whatever he can to get back into shape there's absolutely no telling what toll that time away has done.
Plus he's been what seems like the only guy to actually stay retired, please don't ruin it.

Women's and Men's Money In The Bank both have five from RAW and five from SmackDown Live.
Women's Bayley vs Ember Moon vs Sarah Logan vs Sasha Banks vs Ruby Riott vs Asuka vs Becky Lynch vs Mandy Rose vs Naomi vs Peyton Royce.
Men's Bobby Lashley vs Finn Bálor vs Elias vs Jinder Mahal vs Roman Reigns vs Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan vs Jeff Hardy vs The Miz vs Samoa Joe.
Alexa and Mickie I left out due to them building something with Nattie and Ronda.
IIconics and Absolution felt one member of each should be in.

I thought it was a good match with a shocking ending nobody predicted. If anything was bad about the match, it was the mark fans booing and doing "boring" and "this is awful" chants because they thought they knew the ending. That pissed me off. I wanted Reigns to win because I am so goddamned sick of Brock and the people in attendance didn't even give it a chance.

So does Charlotte go to RAW after only moving last year and her and Ronda sort of ignore each other until the Rumble? For me I'd rather people not shift back and forth each year, keep Charlotte on SmackDown to win the Women's Rumble and face Ronda at Mania who would probably win the RAW Women's Title by the end of the year. I'm not a fan of moving back and forth either, but they're going to do what they're going to do. AJ and Nakamura avoided eachother for longer before their match, and AJ and Orton have yet to have a feud. Shin debuted on SmackDown in April last year but he wasn't really there full time until late May. He and AJ had that Money In The Bank spot and then I think a tag match about a week after AJ won back the United States Title. I remember there being a backstage segment where Shin gazed at the Title, looked at AJ then smiled. Then after that AJ was United States Champion while Shin for some reason was facing Jinder in the WWE Title program so no room for them to face there, then AJ won the WWE Title about a month after he lost the US and he was busy with Jinder, KO and Sami until Fastlane pretty much. They could do that for Charlotte and Ronda but there isn't a Women's midcard Title and I'm not saying there should be, for either of them to keep them busy for a large portion of the year.

I hope they don't move anyone back who was switched last year. I know there is likely to be a few but to me like the Draft where it seemed like some would change each year, it ruins the purpose and just seems lazy.

I was in attendance for Smackdown tonight, and thought it was a believable cash-in. Did I agree with Charlotte beating the streak? Not really. I know Vince wants to make Charlotte the greatest woman in the history of the company, but I thought Asuka should have won her first WM match. With that said, I think Carmella cashing in was a great decision. When so many women are being called up and the women's division easily being the largest it's ever been, Carmella as champion is something fresh and helps elevate her for the newer women to compete around. Charlotte losing also freed up Charlotte to get drafted to Raw, which we know she's expected to face Ronda Rousy next year.

Wasn't there a report a few months before this incident came out where it said Enzo had been trying to leave WWE to pursue a rap career or something like that? He's innocent, good for him for not ing up majorly. That said I never want to see that rat again.
