WWE Title History

I like that they brought back the old IC title. I wish they would get rid of that damn spinner belt... Tag belts look cool.

 

Im disappointed. Thought it would have the 1st champ to current.

 

Yea I hate the spinner. They need to bring back this one.


Or better yet...

The Stone Cold belt.

Rumors are that Phoenix dropped the title to Bella so Kharma can then take the belt off her. They didn't want Phoenix laying down to Kharma right away since there are no real threats to her outside of Phoenix and Natalya.

 

Good move putting the belt on the Miz IMO. I know people don't like him, but they are slowing building up the cred of the title and he is a former world champ who knows how to draw heat. Give him the ball for a while and then have a babyface chase and beat him down the road. The change will mean more instead of a quick swap.
