Did a search cannot find this topic-Can someone tell me the order of importance of the championship belts
my assumption in order is
WWE championship belt
intercontinental champ belt
World heavyweight championship belt
WWE tag team champ belt
WWE world tag team champ belt
US champ belt
ECW champ belt
WWE womens champ belt
WWE divas champ
Wrong/right? thoughts
also think about it in terms of who currently holds/held the belts and their place in the company

Belts only have the "hierarchy" that the promotion decides they have - they're fictional inventions of the company, just props.
1. World Heavyweight Title/WWE Championship 2. ECW Championship 2. Intercontinental/US Championships 3. World Tag Team/WWE Tag Team 4. Women's 5. Diva
I feel like they deal with the top 2 at pretty much an equal level, interchangeably.
ECW/Intercontinental/US are all pretty much the same, but they do give ECW it's own show, so it's tough to put anything over it.

I think they'd like Women's/Diva's to be equal, but they haven't done enough with it yet.

WHC is definitely above the intercontinental, at least in recent years. A lot depends on the wrestlers who hold the belt, the kinds of feuds and matches over it, it's place in promoting PPVs and in wrestling cards. This all contributes to getting the belt 'over' with the fans in getting them to care who owns that belt, thus drawing more money through PPV buys, etc. But my general estimation would be the current standings are:
1) World Heavyweight Championship - simply because it's currently on the highest rated show, so WWE title would be above it if the roles were reversed. Although personally I find it more appealing as there's a certain old school feel behind the name of it as well as the look of the belt resembling the old NWA/WCW belt - it has a big time feel, rather than the cheap looking prop that Triple H carries around to make him look better, which the next belt on my list currently is...
2) WWE Championship (...having said that whoever ends up beating Triple H will get a huge boost by having this belt, so it serves some purpose by being 'Paul's belt' for the time being after initially being 'Cena's belt' in its current design)
3) ECW Championship (Matt beat Shelton on Friday)
=4) Intercontinental Championship/US Title
5) World Tag Team Title (they've made these ones matter a bit more, since Miz and Morrison lost Smackdown belts)
6) WWE Tag Team Title
7) WWE Women's Championship
8) Divas Championship

It's hard to say for me, but I would say that 'Singles Men' it goes:
WWE/World Heavyweight > ECW > IC/US
The two tag belts are equal and I would like to think that, while alone a tag team may have problems, together, the tag champions SHOULD be able to beat the ECW/IC/US champions with ease. In theory, the WWE and World Heavyweight Champion as well (But lets face facts, that probably won't happen to often now)
The Womens title is in an entirely different league to the McCool's Butterfly Barbie Belt however.
So I would say, Tag Titles are in their own league.
Single Belts go: 1. World Heavyweight/WWE Championship 2. ECW Championship 3. IC/US 4. Womens 5. Cruiserweight/European 6. Hardcore 7. Million Dollar 8. Tazz's FTW Title in ECW 9. The referees belt that Cryme Tyme stole in that incident that got them fired the 1st time 10. A piece of rope 11. Diva

Things are equal with ECW being below the main belts.
WHC + WWE ECW USA + Intercontinental WWE Tag + WH tag Womens + Diva

It's the match that calms people down before the big matches so they don't get burned out. It goes: WHC/WWE ECW US/IC Tag Titles CW (When it was there) Women titles

If its by who owns it the Divas belt is the top one, just ask Taker, who happens to be taping his fists in the corner over there.

Why are people equalling on the mid card and top tier belt but not the Womens belt?
I think its fair to say that both divisions titles mean the same, the standard of Womens wrestling is all thats different per brand.
I wouldn't say that means the women title means more than the diva title in the WWE's terms.

Probably because it is:
1) a new belt with little/no history
2) a very very ugly belt
3) held by someone who lends the title no prestige whatsoever

WWE World Heavyweight ECW Intercontinental United States World Tag Team WWE Tag Team Women's Divas
However, in reality it should be split into three categories: male singles, tag team, female singles in which case the WWE, World Tag Team and Women's titles would all be equally important.
