The Intercontinental Championship was unified with the Hardcore Championship in 2002, they are simply honoring the old title's legacy.

I turned to RAW after Better Call Saul just in time to see Reigns spear Rollins off the turnbuckle. He's legit dead now right?

The worst part is, Titus seems like a great guy but he really needs someone to just grab him, pull him aside, and endlessly throw him around the ring until he gets it. E: He may be being thrown around a ring forever, is the problem.

He has a fantastic look, has a catchy dog bark thing, and if he was a decent worker, would be a huge star.

Here are a few things that would make the I-C belt more important: - Have a title match as the Raw main event, with a clean finish - Have a feud over the belt - a real, actual feud - two guys who fight and promo about each other and winning the title - Have the I-C title holder win convincingly and consistently, and never eat pinfalls, even in a non-title match Rusev kind of does these things with the US belt, and the only thing keeping him from being "Rusev, US Champion" is that he's "Rusev, Evil Foreign Heel" and "Rusev, Guy Feuding with Cena" right now.

The actual champion is on a 10(?) match losing streak, that certainly doesn't help the value of the belt.

Wasn't DDP in his late-30s before he became a regular worker, and he was really good? It's not impossible. I mean, it's not gonna happen, but there is precedent.

Can someone explain the logic of having both the IC and US title at this point? Why not just merge them and have one legit middle-tier champ?

Hell, just forget New Day exists and turn PTP into a full stable with no explanation.

In "canon", it's roughly WWE World Heavyweight Championship > Intercontinental Championship > WWE Tag Team Championships = United States Championship. In reality, currently it's WWE Champ > US Champ > Tag Tag Champs > jobber > IC Champ The Diva's Championship has been handled pretty well in terms of prestige lately, even if the feuds aren't the greatest, it's probably on the level of US as well.

This raw didn't have an ascension match so it was a good raw, imo I am glad they seem to be putting the AJ paige feud away for good and look forward to them killing the Bellas a whole lot at mania Also at this point barrett was buried so much anyway that I'm glad he's losing and is clearly being positioned as lovely loser who doesn't deserve the title and can't even keep possession of the belt. The belt itself is at a way higher level than he is now, which is a weird way to book a title reign but if either Ambrose or Bryan win a good match and IF they commit to making the title and champion important after mania it might actually work. Same thing with a Cena U.S. title run. More likely is they continue business as usual by jobbing the IC champ to upper carders and Cena loses the U.S. title by a distraction-aided rollup and never bothers to try and win it back while going on to feud with the guy who distracted him.
