This is a thread that I did about a year and a half ago. It ended up getting a ton of responses. I thought I'd do it again, now that there are a ton of new people who weren't around for the other one. (If a similar thread exists, feel free to merge them then. I couldn't find one.)
Here are the rules.
You can pick anyone to hold any of the championships in the federation. You can NOT bring back old titles. You can NOT bring in someone who is not currently working for the federation. You also can NOT break gender rules (guys holding female titles, women holding any championship but their division's). Basically, it has to be someone who could hold the title in real life and be booked to win it on this week's tv show. You can also discuss how long you'd want them to hold it, and potential feuds. Oh, and one last rule.... No one should be holding more than one belt. Let's try to be creative and not have any dual-weilders.... and no unifying any of the belts unless the federation has done so in real life.
Dont forget to include WHY you'd give someone a belt.
I'll go first.
WWE Championship
Wade Barrett. Seriously. Everyone complains about how there is no one new to the title scene (and that Sheamus wasn't good enough) so why not let Barrett hold the title? He's been pushed so much after NXT with the whole Nexus angle. He would be someone new to the world title scene on Raw and it could continue the Nexus angle in an interesting way. They could build up a face to defeat him.... so that he won't get fed to Cena/Orton/Trips.
US Championship
I agree with WWE on this one. Daniel Bryan was a perfect choice. He could feud with all sorts of midcarders and establish himself as a star with this reign.
WWE Tag Team Championship
The Hart Dynasty should not have lost the belts. They'd win them back and start their reign over again, but this time I would have them feuding with teams from both brands. One PPV they could face a Raw team, next they'd face a Smackdown team, and so forth. The belts are for both shows, so they should be defended on both shows, and by a legit tag team.
World Heavyweight Championship
Jack Swagger. I enjoyed his reign and a second would be good. He could hold it all the way until the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber, since he would most likely not be defending it at Wrestlemania this early in his career.
IC Championship
This one's a little more difficult. Most of the guys on Smackdown either do not need the belt, or are not good enough to feud for a belt yet. I'd probably give it to Kaval because he needs to get a title shot now that he won the second season of NXT. This would help him get established, much like Bryan's US title reign will.
Divas Championship
I agree with WWE on making Michelle McCool be the champ. She was the first to hold both belts, so she deserved to unify them. As far as feuds or how long it lasts.... I seriously don't care because both female divisions are terrible. Random feuds until she loses it to some random challenger.
Ok, now let's see what the rest of you have to say.
