The Brock situation was a little different though because we always had a 'world' title on the show. This show might not have either of the undisputed titles (Men's singles or Men's Tag) being defended. Even if it was a 'throw away' match against Orton (because Riddle is recovering from the Uso's attack) it would make some kayfabe sense and they can still run Cody v Seth in the main event.

A_K Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 To be honest more events could do from having the alternative titles headline. Raises the stakes when the Heavyweight title is actually defended, and build more legitimacy around the secondary-star players on the upward trajectory. Make the secondary titles more important in their own right (just as in UFC/Boxing headline shows aren't associated with the Heavyweight-title only).

Kang Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Post WM 38, these smaller PLE's are basically just good matches with no commercials and not much big stakes. They may make the top title only defended on the bigger PLE's from now on. Money in the bank has been further upgraded into being one of the bigger PLE's. Even upgraded to Stadium show this year. The Saudi shows are now just special locations shows but with less matches than previous Saudi Shows. Edited May 23, 2022 by Blue Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the titles in UFC can vary in interest/importance based on the star power in each division. It'd be a pretty shit thing for WWE to try and say that the IC/US titles are somehow worthy of headlining a PPV after not being defended on these shows for months at a time. The IC and US titles should be the ones defended one TV more often. World Champ should defend at every PPV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he's no doubt stronger than me, he's not using an arch and he's not controlling the eccentric - these are two things that increase the risk of tears. https://startingstrength.com/article/how-not-to-tear-a-pec-while-bench-pressing.
