  • Tell me what his the actual title reign that entertains you the most.
  • Who should not be champion currently? Why?
  • Who is going to win the titles from each and every current champion?
 
This is VERY difficult when a lot of the titles are fresh on people (within the last 8 weeks).

Here we go...


Raw Champions:
WWE Champion - John Cena
Cena as a champ...is the genuine face champion. My issue here is...Cena challenging The Rock so early and making it a title match instantly. I thought this was a bad move, as now if Cena doesn't go into wrestlemania as champ, he looks weak and like he can't uphold his word. Problem with Cena is he is a true face, in the sense that he's great until he gets the title then the show gets stale. He's better and the chase than being the challenger, because to be honest, you get the same sort of stuff every week from Cena if he holds the title.

United States Champion - Kofi Kingston
Kofi is clearly a placeholder for the championship, before it can be given to someone they're trying to push. A large part of me hopes they'll move the title onto Swagger and give Swagger a year long reign with it, building some prestige back into it but I can never really see that happening.

Kofi has rarely defended the title since he gained it, if at all, and honestly...he's better without it. Kofi needs a personality injection quickly or he faces being the boring generic wrestler once again.


WWE Tag Team Champions - David Otunga and Michael McCgilicutty
I really want the tag division to mean something but they honestly never will again. They only will if the division can set itself up properly and if they can push several new teams at any one time. I don't see it happening, so unfortunately their reign is...null and void. It's not important and if they got "rid" of the titles, it wouldn't change a thing now. Tag wrestling, as a medium, is dying.

Divas Champion - Brie Bella
Actually...I've enjoyed this. I found myself actually going "TWIN MAGIC!" at the end of Over The Limit's match and honestly, they are a great consummate heel team. The bella's are everything you should always hate in wrestling and I adore the teamwork that they put on in matches. I hope WWE doesn't do anything stupid like splitting the bella's and setting them off against each other. This would be a bad move and they'd lose their place instantly. Right now, I'd say of every reign...they've been one of the most entertaining lately.

SmackDown Champions:
World Heavyweight Champion - Randy Orton
I understand the hate for this. Christian deserved the title after so long and a lot of people think if the title had of been lost at Over The Limit, it would have been fair enough. I agree. Losing the title just 3 weeks after would have been fine. Orton since has defended the championship in 2 matches, one at a pay per view, and one on television. You know what? Orton is showing the fighting champ spirit. Im actually enjoying Orton's reign, this is a FAR better one than the previous few and I honestly don't get the hate for Orton other than the title potentially being taken off Christian too early. Orton fits Smackdown much better, the title alone looks RIGHT on Orton's shoulder. This is a good fit for Orton and I don't mind seeing him in the picture for years to come.

Intercontinental Champion - Wade Barrett
Barrett...has had actually a decent reign. Not fantastic, not great, but decent. He's played the classic heel brilliantly, and honestly this guy is a consummate heel, and should be used as such. I fear on Smackdown, if we have so many heels, he may get lost in the midcard shuffle and would LOVE to see him get to the stage where he pisses SO many people off on SD (The Corre ex members, other people) he ends up leaving SD and going to RAW where a major feud erupts for Barrett and others. I personally really have enjoyed Wade's reign here, and would love to see a classic finish on the end of the feud and his reign before he gets too many people on his back and ends up back on RAW where he can become a top heel along with Miz and ADR.
 
I would have to say Orton's title reign right now is the best, the controversy surrounding it makes the reign better. His matches with Christian have been great, plus the ending to Friday's Smackdown makes the feud better and you need good feuds for title reign to be successful
 
US Title - Kofi Kingstons reign as US champ is just boring but this is probably just because Kofi's character has gone stale, give it to a heel like McIntyre or Ziggler and let them run with it for a while build it up.

IC Title - I'm interested to see what Wade Barrett and Ezekiel jackson can do with a IC title fued, its still early yet but I'm hoping writers put more focus on the fued/belt than letting it play down as both superstars have the potential to reignite interest in the mid card at least for smackdown. Just think of the potential fueds either of them could have Cody Rhodes, Sin Cara, Ted DiBiase, Justin Gabriel (if they split the corre). Some instant classics right there.

WWE Title - John Cena......the guy is boring in my opinion, a monster heel turn could do wonders for his reign though. It seems that most faces of the company refresh their characters every couple of years. Randy Orton breaking away from Evolution, then turning into the legend killer, then legacy now the viper Heel/Face/Heel/Face, but Cena has been face since his original turn. Triple H went from high society, to degenerate, to the game, to cerebral assassin, Evolution, back to DX and now he is a legend. Heel/Face/Heel/Face/Heel/Face. WWE need to mix Cena up a little.

Tag Titles - What made the Tag Titles so entertaining during the Attitude Era/Post Invasion was the amount of teams and the diversity of those teams. Kendrick and London were high flyers, you had MNM the premadonnas, Too Cool were entertaining, Hardys were daredevils, WGTT were the technicians, APA were the powerhouses. Teams of this era just lack the presence because they are just thrown together just to hold the belts, make teams more meaningful and then the Tag Titles will become interesting.

World Title - Randy Orton makes a good world champion and I'm interested to see where his rivalry with Christian is going but I will say I was more invested in the title when Christian was holding it because it took people by surprise as they though Del Rio would take the strap and we never thought we'd see him ever hold a main stream world championship.

Divas Title - Meh, when Kharma was about it made the division as a whole a lot more interesting, since she is out for a year i can't see anyone in the division carrying an interesting reign maybe if they turned Beth Pheonix and had her against Natalya then it made add value to the belt.
 
Raw Champions:
WWE Champion - John Cena
It's not been particularly exciting so far but he's not exactly held it for a long time. I'm not as against it as many seem to be although if he does hold it to Wrestlemania it will become stale. Just because Cena's character has become so one dimensional.

United States Champion - Kofi Kingston
Has Kofi actually won a match since he won the title? I wanted to like Kofi but he's held mid card titles several times now and not one of his reigns has been at all memorable. I just don't think the guys gonna make it.

WWE Tag Team Champions - David Otunga and Michael McCgilicutty
They've only just won it so I can't comment on it but they're a real team who have a place so I have no problem with them holding them.

Divas Champion - Brie Bella
Blah they're just not good wrestlers. They're obviously trying to replace Laycool and they're alright. Without Kharma I have little to no interest in anything these two do. I want a Diva feud between some combination of Natalya, Melina, Beth, Gail and you'll at least get alright matches.

SmackDown Champions:
World Heavyweight Champion - Randy Orton
Probably the best title holder at the moment. He hasn't held it for long but he's had fantastic matches since he has. I know a lot of folk blame him for beating Christian but I think they need to get over it. I usually prefer Orton to be chasing but I reckon this has potential if booked right.

Intercontinental Champion - Wade Barrett
Started dull, at least this feud with Zeke means he's actually wrestling for it although it still seems an afterthought. Hasn't done much for me.

So yea, most haven't held the title for long so it's a bit difficult to judge.
 
Well the Championship pictures in the WWE is at a total chaotic moment right now.. I think they have made some bad choicesand just threw titles around because they freaked.... Let's start WWE Championship...

WWE CHAMPION: JOHN CENA

- Right off this is the First one I would take the title off... I'm tired of it.. Everyone that isn't 12 is tired of Cena with the title... Personally they should have just kept the title on the Miz... Cena as Champ is stale, nothing new... We've seen it for the last 6 years... If they want Cena Fresh then it's time to turn him Heel... which won't happen... To take the strap off of Cena... I would like to see Punk take it.... But with what the current possible plan for summer slam.. I wouldn't be shocked to see Alberto Del Rio the Champ...

On to the World Heavyweight Championship

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: RANDY ORTON

-Randy Orton as champ works.. I understand why he got the title... I agree with everyone that Christian should have held it for the month, but whatever, it's the WWE... The problem here is there are really no contenders for Orton at the moment... How many times are we going to watch Christian/Orton or Sheamus/Orton??? Mark Henery is not a real contender... Wade Barrett is tied up with stupid things... next logical choice is Cody Rhodes... I think that shoud be the big WHC feud leading us into summer slam... It would hae helped has they not drafted everyone to RAW.. They could have left Ziggler(who I know wasn't drafted,but fired from smackdown)/McIntyre/ or Swagger.... and leave them to challenge Orton... I don't see Orton losing the strap anytime soon....

UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP: KOFI KINGSTON

-Kofi as US Champ works as well.. But the title is meaningless on RAW.. Time to make it some high profile match... It would be bigger if we stopped wasting TV time with the likes of Cole and Lawler, which was a feud that went 3 months too long...The US division on RAW is stacked and it's time to start using it... You got McIntyre, Swagger, Borne, Ryder, Ziggler... Any of them with Kofi would be a great match... Who to take the title???? Ziggler or McIntyre...

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: WADE BARRETT

- I'm not excited here either... Not so much of Wade being the champ, but the current feud... The big guys are boring to me.. I say to bring excitement to the IC title it's time to start feuding with Bryan, Sin Cara, Gaberial, and Slater... I know they have high hopes for Barrett, so take the IC title off of him, get him out of the Coore and Move him up against Orton.. Let the other talent battle over the IC title... But don't give it to Jackson... even more boring..

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: MCGILLICUTTY AND OTUNGA

- Well I like that McGillicutty has a title.. The Nexus along with the Coore are past their welcome.. Both have become useless.. The problem here is that the WWE doesn't take tag team wrestling seriously... which is a shame.. They could have some awesome tag teams and feuds... Who takes the belts?? Who knows.. Probably the random formed team of like Yoshi Tatsu and John Cena...

DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP: BRIE BELLA

- Brie as champ is okay... I would say I'd like to see Kelly get the belt at least once.. But really it's time to bring the Diva's that can wrestle back into the title picture.. Beth, Melina, Gail Kim, Natalya..... I'll even take Mayrse... Mayrse has a great character reminds me of an early Trish.. But I'm tired of seeing the diva's I can't stand in the ring every week.. Eve, Alica Fox.... Even Layla has gotten much better in the ring!! So build up the Diva's divion, make it how it used to be!!!
 
Everyone is giving their oppinions, so I'm just gonna post who I think will take the belt.


WWE Champion - John Cena: This one is tricky. I think Miz will probably take the belt back, but not for a while. Don't be surprised if The Rock takes it at Mania. I know most people think it's unlikely, but I think he can do it. Cena is already over, so if Rock gets the strap he can pass it off to a young guy. Maybe someone cashes in MITB right after the match.

United States Champion - Kofi Kingston: Honestly does anyone really care? I would like Swagger to get it, but I see Dolph winning it.

WWE Tag Team Champions - David Otunga and Michael McCgilicutty: I think Kane wins them back. I don't know if Show returns, of if he finds a replacement (Skip?) but I don't see this reign being long.

Divas Champion - Brie Bella: I can see Kelly Kelly winning her first title, but at the same time I can see her keeping the belt until Kharma returns, but I don't think WWE will stick to that, so I think Kelly takes it.

World Heavyweight Champion - Randy Orton: It's hard to say because he's gonna hold it for a while. I think they use Orton to elevate all the upper mid carders to the main event. (Sheamus, Barrett, Christian, Henry). If I had to pick I'd say Christian wins it back, but it's too early to tell.

Intercontinental Champion - Wade Barret: I think Zeke wins the belt really soon. He needs it more than Wade, and Wade needs to jump back to the main event.
 
John Cena: Typical face champ, will not be losing anytime soon, and he draws crowds so why not?

Kofi Kingston: Definately the champ only so that the title would be on Raw instead of smackdown, I would like to see Swagger, McIntyre or Ziggler take it from him.

New Nexus: Tag Teams are irrelevant, maybe Vlad and Santino pop outta nowhere and regain the belts? Sounds like WWE Script writing to me...

Bellas: I honestly skip the divas except when Kharma comes out, but I think Kelly Kelly will take the belt soon.

Orton: The belt will not be leaving Orton's shoulders any time soon. As of right now there is nobody worthy of taking the belt off of him yet. Nobody wants to see Sheamus as the champ, he's boring and Orton would end up winning the belt back anyways. I'd like to see Cody Rhodes or Daniel Bryan end up in the title race, but sensibility in the WWE is rare, thus the reason Mark Henry is being marketed as a contender, but can still lose to Christian cleanly.

Barrett: He's only defended once against Kofi and Twice against Zeke, all of which ended in screwjobs for the challengers, I don't like Barrett as a champ, i find him uninteresting with doing the same old schtick every week with the Corre. I think Ezekiel Jackson will eventually take the title off of him and restore it's credibility, but I'm a wishful thinker...
 
Alright..mine is going into Bold because mine if more important than the others.

WWE Champion: John Cena
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yes, there's always going to be be people who dislike John Cena holding the belt as there are with any champion, but it's something WWE know works. Admittedly, even I grimace at the thought of him holding it all the way to WM28 so I expect him to drop it sometime in summer to someone before picking it up again at the Royal Rumble.

Hen Rating: 7/10

US Champion: Kofi Kingston
At times I fear for Kofi, he seems to have a knack for winning mid-card titles and not actually doing anything with them. When was his last ACTUAL feud...Drew Mcintyre? When did he actually have a speaking role? Surpisingly, I actually think having Kofi have the belt is a good thing, if they do it right. With so many mid-card heels on Raw, he can wrestle them all and give them some good face time. He'll sell for them, put them over, but somehow keep the belt. It COULD work, but don't be surprised if we see anyone from R-Truth to Zack Ryder win the belt within the next few weeks.

Hen Rating:4/10

Divas Champion: One of those Bella twins.
Women's Wrestling isn't my thing. No comment.

WWE Tag Team Champions: David Otunga and Michael Mcgillicutty
Sure, I could rant about how the tag division has gone down the drain or how in God's name has David Otunga become a two-time Tag Champion without actually doing anything. (Remember his one-night reign with John Cena?) But I'm not. All I'm going to say is that these are two young wrestlers who do not yet have the drawing power to properly make the tag team division seem relevant. Otunga and Mcgillicutty are like Rhodes & Mcintyre, a practically thrown together tag team that is expected as a transitional reign...but who are they going to drop it to? While I keep praying for a Trent Baretta/Lucky Cannon tag team, the rest of you may begin a petition to sign MCMG and Beer Money to WWE.
Hen Rating:2.5/10

Smackdown! (The No.1 Brand)

World Heavyweight Champion: Randy Orton
Unlike Cena, a lengthy Orton reign is something I could see happening and is something that in all likelihood will happen. Unless something major happens with Cody Rhodes or Christian and they get vastly over, I don't see him dropping it any time soon. Maybe Orton will take the belt back over to Raw if he doesn't like wrestling on Tuesday Nights. Sheamus is a dark horse and Booker-T an (no racism intended) even darker one. No kidding, Booker-T may well return for another reign if he stays in good graces.

Hen Rating:8/10
Intercontinental Champion: Wade Barrett
I'd forgotten this championship existed...enough said. Seriously though, at least Barrett is in a feud, even if the IC Championship is just there as a prop.

Hen Rating: 6/10
 
MY TURN!

Cena 2/5 Holding but not thrilling - It's been said, when he is Champion it gets boring. When Sheamus beat him in the tables match I nearly pissed myself. If they did a hard push with R Truth I would pop a tad. I would like to see him beat the I-did-it-in-spite horse to death for a month or two. Odds are we are staying with Cena though. Blah, but oh well, I see them leading this into Punk so that will hold me over with Cena.

Kofi 2/5 Holding, putting on good matches; BUT - ehh, doesn't feel like it matters. The only thing that will really make this big for me right now...your gonna laugh....have Vicki win it in some weird bring on all comers style match. Then Ziggler beats her for it :-)...you know you wanna see it. Ziggler would work well with it especially after beating Vicki for it. I would like to see her come out with her new BF, Brotus...neat idea I know

Perfect Jr/Jennifer Hudson Jr 3/5 A change, but nothing big - Not a bad idea giving it to them, but I wanna see Rhodes/Dibiase hold them for awhile. Yeah, it feels more like a tag team then McG/Otunga. At least with them It feels like they could lose them at any time, to any one; thats why I give it a 3, cause It makes the matches worth a look.

Bella 4.5/5 - makes the most sense, entertaining enough for the women's title, yeah 4.5...she is the best choice and with she we get a "they".

Barrett 2.5/5 - not bad, except I keep forgetting he is even champion. Yeah he is in a fued I just can't pay attention to it (we will blame it on my attention span). I wouldn't mind seeing Gabriel take it off of him, he could put on some good singles matches or put it on Sin Cara and run it along with his undefeated streak. Then Barrett can take a shot at Orton...sooner or later.

side not**** I wanna see a Barrett/Sheamus friend/fued style program. Kinda like there was with MVP/Hardy, I know it's weird but It would be fun, I just wanna hear an argument with accents. (remember...terrible attention span)

Orton 4/5 - Best choice champion for smackdown right now, always puts on a good match, has no problem working every night. Hope he works good with a heel christian cause mark henry isn't doing it and Sheamus looks weak right now, but thats for another thread. For now, Orton is the best choice.

Overall rating for champs...3/5 they aren't doing bad but could be doing better
 
Raw Champions:

WWE Champion - John Cena - I'll probably kill myself if he holds the belt until WM28, but so far it's a good reign as far as entertainment goes. 7/10

United States Champion - Kofi Kingston - Please.... not another Kofi and Dolph feud.
Kofi just isn't entertaining.
Is there anyway to just write Kofi out of this feud entirely? 4/10

WWE Tag Team Champions - David Otunga and Michael McCgilicutty - Stale tag team division, no real challengers. 3/10

Divas Champion - Brie Bella - No comment on the divas. 5/10

Average rating: 4.75/10

SmackDown Champions:

World Heavyweight Champion - Randy Orton - Best choice to hold the title for any brand, and the controversy caused by the title makes Orton the best current champion. 9/10

Intercontinental Champion - Wade Barret - Didn't forget that Wade had the title. I'm just waiting for them to put the title on Zeke. 5/10

Average Rating: 7/10
 
WWE Champion John Cena - Same old awful kids Superman reign.

USA title Kofi Kingston - I forgot that they still have this title.

WWE Tag Team Titles Nexus - Really ?

Divas Title Bellas - Really ?

WHC Randy Orton - Boring champion.

ITC title Wade Barrett - Really ?

For WWE, the only titles that really mean something are the two world championships. The rest of them are just for background. When was the last time that the ITC or the USA title really ment something ?

  • Tell me what his the actual title reign that entertains you the most.
  • Who should not be champion currently? Why?
  • Who is going to win the titles from each and every current champion?

I would love to see John Cena stay champ just so he can defend it against The Rock, lose, and become a heel. I love John Cena as he is now though. Excellnt face and a nice guy to actually sit down and talk to. But that would be the best way for him to lose the title.

Kofi is a decent champion but I would want to see him lose it to Alex Riley. That can be a great way to push Riley, even though he is on Smackdown.

I don't like Brie having the title because it never really works out, especially when you have a twin siter as well. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GAIL KIM TAKE IT.......but that's just not going to happen. Maybe Kelly Kelly....

Tag Team titles? Sin Cara and Daniel Bryant.

WHC? Randy Orton's title reign is cool but I want Christian to take it back. Or just struggle between them a little longer.

Intercontinetal: Wade Barrett is a favorite. Great heel and person, but if I had to choose, it would be Cara. So that way he can get pushed.
 
WWE Championship-John Cena
I reallly hope cena doesnt keep the title until WM28. 1.Because of all the main eventers Raw has (The Miz,Del Rio,CM Punk,Big Show,R truth,Mysterio) . 2.Who wants to see the rock as wwe champ its pretty obvious cena will win. And who I think will take the wwe title is Alberto Del Rio, because they've pushed him this far to not win a single title and I think it will happen maybe after Summerslam.
United States Title-Kofi Kingston
Where has the US title gone?? 3 people come to mind when I think of someone that can take the title Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, and Mason Ryan.Ziggler because he is a great wrestler and he deserves something.Swagger because he is pathetic now after losing the world title then being michael coles bodyguard and he needs to get back on track.Ryan is my favorite to win it because I think wwe is trying to make him like a new Batista and starting Ryan with Nexus is great but getting him some single action would be perfect for him.
Tag Team titles-David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty
I think wwe is trying to improve the tag division and I think they're doing a pretty good job with it.I used to like it when wwe had the World title guys win the titles with their opponents(like when John Cena and Shawn Michaels won the title going into their Wrestlemania main event)So maybe Orton,Christian tag champs?Or Cena & Miz,Del Rio??IDKAnother thing would be Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase .that would only happen if rhodes get rid of the whole dashing act.
Divas title-SKIP..
World title-Randy Orton
I would love to see Orton dominate Smackdown and hold the title until maybe the end of 2011.Considering smackdown has 2, or 3 people that can take it from him. He could have great rivalries with Christian, Sheamus.The person I think that will take the title from him would be Wade Barrett.Because Barrett has proven he can main event he had great matche with John cena last year
if they do good with him with losing the IC title he could be someone that could main event wrestlemania.
Intercontinental title-Wade BArrett
Barrett as an IC champ is stupid like I said he should be a world champ guy.SIN CARA!should be IC champ because just like mason ryan sin cara could be a world champ guy too on samckdown.Right now sin cara would be a perfect fit to win the IC title.Ezikel Jackson could be but he is Injury prone.
