Remember when secondary titles were around to help put over new talent?
Me neither.
Granted, Roman having it is no different than Miz having it, honestly. It just feels wasted on them. Give it to some lower card guy so they can get a little exposure.
Can't always have it on a lower card guy to elevate them. Then the belt loses its feel of being a championship and it stops elevating people because everyone will figure out it's just the push belt, aka "now that you have this, it's obvious to everyone that you're actually gonna be a world championship contender someday."
Sometimes you gotta put that championship on someone already established, because it will become a more important title. Then when one of those lower card guys gets the belt, he joins the ranks of some really great pro wrestlers and THEN he can be elevated.
I understand that it's been a while since it's been on one of those lower card guys, maybe close to two years at this point, and that it should be put on someone that needs it more than Reigns or Miz. But just keep in mind that this will probably help the belt and make it feel even more important as a championship when they eventually do take it off the guys that are already established.
This. Miz harping on about making it a big deal loses impact if Apollo Crews is coming after it. But if he insists it's a big deal, and then somebody like Reigns actually wants it? It builds it up more.
Now, they obviously need to use it to elevate somebody pretty soon, but this was a good call. ---
