Triple H pushing for relevant midcard belts

[Stopspot]

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is reportedly close to signing a new deal with WWE, according to talk going around at Tuesday’s SmackDown tapings. Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who has broke several WWE stories in the past, notes that word at SmackDown was that with the lack of popularity that Roman Reigns has received as of late, Triple H is pushing Vince McMahon on the idea of keeping the title on Lesnar.

If Lesnar does retain at WrestleMania 31, it would likely mean a continued “special attraction schedule” for him. Triple H has recently been big on the idea that the Intercontinental Title and the United States Title should be important and mean something again. The plan, if Brock retains is to put the US Title on John Cena and the IC Title on Daniel Bryan.

The idea is that two top stars, Cena and Bryan, could bring legitimacy to the titles. Also, while Lesnar is gone, Cena and Bryan can main event RAW, SmackDown and all other events with titles on the top of the card.

It was noted that a lot can change between now and WrestleMania but this is just one of the many ideas that are being talked about.

How often have we been promised this? Wait and see seems the smart thing to go.

I'm all for it. Slap the belts on Daniel Bryan and John Cena, I'm all for it. Now the question I have is, after the two lose the belts, will the superstars after them be able to keep the titles relevant? Cena and Bryan can bring much needed attention to the belts, but they need to maintain them with each reign.

Couldn't agree more that putting the US title on Cena and the IC title on Bryan is going to bring back the relevance to those titles...
But as far as Lesnar retaining goes, I don't think it's hapenning. But it wouldn't surprise me if he signed a new deal, though.

While as a wrestler, I don't hate Triple H, but I certainly don't like him either. Mainly since there was this "reign of terror" from late 2002-2005 that we all had to sit through, the Jericho burial, the Booker T incident at WM XIX and even the Katie Vick thing, but as a office guy that has control over certain things in WWE, I just can't get enough of him. I love the way he's running NXT and trying to make the main roster shows better by pushing for what he knows is right for the business in the long run

I...cant say I care to much. I expect to see either Reigns or Rollins leaving with the belt. Who else can really challenge Lesnar at this point? Cena and Bryan would be midcard champions, and God please don't bring in Show or Kane.

I just don't see Lesnar walking out as champion. I actually want Rollins to cash in, whether it's on Reigns or on Lesnar.

LOL Kane and Show.

Orton, Sheamus, Wyatt, and maybe even Ryback

Sounds like a good idea.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

HHH is spot on with this idea.. however I doubt this will be a longterm thing, I'm thinking maybe a year just to get the fans interest back in them and then they're going to go back to jobbers & up and comers competing for them and holding them.

Reigns losing won't happen. They didn't hve the guy beat Bryan, win the rumble, etc, just to lose.

I like the 2 mid card titles being bigger. Good idea.

But Bryan should be bigger than what he is.

But Bryan should be bigger than what he is.

That makes two of us, hopefully it'll happen as soon as the next year.

I mean they can bring "legitimacy" to these titles without forcing Bryan to mid card when he's clearly main event. People feel that just because he main vented last year... He can't this year and he's fine in the mid card.

No fucking way. This guy is over with merchandise, fans, and can wrestle as well as talk. Why the hell would he just hold the IC title?? After beating all of evolution last year. Cenas career is kind of in veteran status where he can compete mid-upper and still have some entertaining feuds. DB is supposed to be rising, like reigns, and now he's held back lol.

Well, IF HHH is pushing for mid belt greatness then DB is a great guy for it. The situation we're looking for here is for DB to bring the IC title up, and not for the IC title to bring him down. I'm sure IC Champ Daniel Bryan could do main and semi-main PPV matches with some good opponents.

 

[Roadster]

To be honest, I'm quite excited for the forth coming future. Even though Reigns losing might mean he's going down the same road as guys like Luger (irrelevant) who was basically a opener on every show after WrestleMania X. But I like the idea of having meaningful midcard titles.

what a novel concept
