Having Del Rio and Shitemus in MITB for the WWE-WHC is not best for business, Hunter. Get your shit together, WWE. Now if Cena gets added, it's only gonna get worse.

Two successful former world champions (including one of the top draws in Mexico), by which I mean Sheamus and ADR, in the WWEWHC match isn't best for business? Sheamus, although hated by the IWC, sells a ton of merch and is over with the live crowds, particularly the kids. He also has the "championship look" and is entertaining on the mic and in the ring to everybody who's not too cool to be entertained. Alberto Del Rio has been one of the most successful heels in the business (and didn't do a bad job when he was turned face, although he never got over as much as he probably should have) and he's really only been overshadowed since the Punk Championship heel run. Since then, he's sorta floated around the upper midcard, but he's probably one of the best in-ring performers in the WWE.
The IWC is the only group of people on the planet who don't think Sheamus and ADR shouldn't be in this match.

Instead of Separating the titles again and having to pretend the WHC is as important as the WWE championship, they could just add another title that is above the current mid-card titles, but below the main title. I'm not sure if there is a extinct title that fits the profile, but if there isn't they could do the following.
Unify the IC title and the US title and make it a upper-midcard title. Then introduce a mid-card title like the Cruiserweight title or even the European title. That would make sure the WWE has a neat, defined hierarchy without separating titles in brands(which wouldn't make sense right now) or keeping too little titles for the current size of the roster

But there's no reason to do all of that. You can accomplish it with the current title structure, just book the belts right and write decent storylines for them. Unless you just want to bring back the European Championship, which would be alright with me, but the U.S. Title has a more prestigious history to the majority of the WWE's fanbase. Book the IC as upper midcard and the US as lower midcard/lower card (the current booking actually would suggest they're already moving this direction). So, a guy like Bo Dallas would be booked into a series of feuds leading to the US Championship. After carrying it and defending it for a while (and losing it to an up-and-comer), he would be elevated to the IC Title scene, where he would eventually win the IC. Again, he carries it and defends it, then loses it. After that, you boost him to the main event. Obviously, there's a lot of pitfalls between debuting and main eventing Wrestlemania, but that's the sort of path the general career would take.
As for bringing back the Cruiserweight Championship, you could do that with the current title structure in place. The Cruiserweight or Light Heavyweight (originally the CW Title was in WCW and the LHW Title was in WWE) would be treated somewhat separately, much like the Divas Championship or Tag Titles. Only certain wrestlers would compete for it, so you could keep the current title structure and still have it.

Yeah, I agree with Waco here (shocker), no reason to swap any belts, it can be accomplished by booking the current ones differently.
Eventually the titles will split again, otherwise the WHC would have been disgarded.
The WWE still sees value in a potential split down the road as workrate and character value don't necessarily coincide.
