WWE has recently introduced a Women’s United States and Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
In speaking with SHAK Wrestling, Paul Heyman gave his take on a “multitude of of titles.” Heyman said he only supports wrestling promotions having numerous titles only if they all mean something. Heyman did say that when he was the lead writer for SmackDown back in the 2000’s, he was against mid-card titles because he thought it would undermine the other divisions.
“Yeah, I’m not a big fan of a multitude of titles unless you can give them enough time,” Heyman said. “We had proper focus at that time on the championships that we held and didn’t feel that we needed more championships to tell better stories and felt that therefore, the introduction of more championships only waters down the championships that we already had the spotlight on at the moment…What works, works. What doesn’t, doesn’t,” he responded. “If you can make it relevant — all pun intended to the Island of Relevancy — then it will work. And if you can’t make it relevant, then it won’t. Listen, If there are 14 titles and they all mean something, then you should be looking at doing number 15. If you have seven titles and you’re struggling to put relevancy on all seven, then you need to cut down the number that you have. What’s working? If it’s working, let’s do more of that. If it’s not working, change it.”
On the main roster, WWE has a total of 11 championships.
Heyman also talked about CM Punk, The Bloodline and Brock Lesnar’s Return
Heyman made his surprise return to last Friday’s WWE SmackDown, revealing CM Punk as the fifth member for the Men’s WarGames Match at this Saturday’s Survivor Series. It will be Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn and CM Punk vs. Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu and Bronson Reed.
