Now this…this looks damned good.
Didn’t they just unveil different new tag belts the other day?
Those were the World Tag Titles (formerly Raw Tag Titles) these are the WWE Tag Titles (formerly Smackdown Tag Titles). They have now changed all title names to WWE Title or World Title.
It says “undisputed” on the graphic?
Lazy graphics department lol. The belts were the “Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship” for the last 2 years, so they titled the graphic after that name. They technically should have titled the graphic “WWE Tag Team Championship” which is what the name now is with the reveal of these new belts and them being split.
This is damn near perfection to me, I’d prefer the WWE logo and crown to swap places, but it’s great, by far my favorite WWE title design lately.
For the life of me, I do not understand why there are 2 of each title. If they go with brand-specific titles, drafts cause stupid things like title swaps. If they go with “WWE” and “World” you end up with unequal championships. Seth and Priest already have the lesser world title. The only tier that doesn’t seem to have this problem is IC and US, but arguably the US title SHOULD be lower.
They just spent months having Seth, Cody, Rock, and Roman appearing on both shows. We just went through a period where the tag champs were unified and appearing everywhere.
Triple H is supposed to care about wrestling. This is screwing with title lineages and storylines and the overall product. Since this is supposed to be a new WWE, I suppose I’ll give it a try. But, this has never worked out in the past. Can’t see why this will be different.
