Nakamura is getting up there in age and his body is not in great shape. I doubt the guy left NJPW to not be on the biggest stage possible and I doubt WWE signed him for the kind of money it would take to get him to come over to do that either. He needs to be in front of as many people as possible as soon as possible because the product needs as much new as it can get. Meanwhile a guy like Itami should probably be in NXT a bit longer because he wasn't making the transition especially well.

What about Joe?

There was a lot of merging/splitting/new belt introduction/company name changes over several decades so I don't know if that counts quite as much as TNA's "we're gonna do a whole new thing every other week" title.

Yeah, at least the KOTM title was openly acknowledged on-air and in an official Youtube video as "remember the Legends/Global/TV titles? They were all the same physical belt, and it's this now"
