A lot of factors here, history, current prestige, which connects more with the younger audience for merch, even to who else in the world the US title can really appeal to.
Let's say going into SummerSlam or some such they want to drop a belt, which do you think is the better option to keep?

The IC Title should stay. You know you want an IC The Champ Is Here shirt.
I do believe two midcard titles are needed, but since the IC and U.S. Belts are on the same level in kayfabe, there's no point in having both

The IC title is WWE's title. Surely they wouldn't pick the US if it came down to it.

Right, right, right now - I would say US title - simply because it is the only one being defended regularly, and has a lot of big time attention on it because of who is holding it.
The IC belt has been a burden to its holder for a while now

technically the WWWF United States Championship pre-dates the Intercontinental title.

The IC belt has been a burden to its holder for a while now If Cena were Intercontinental Champion, he'd be doing the same thing with that title instead. Or if Daniel Bryan were still healthy, I doubt he'd fall victim to the usual "IC Title curse" booking. With the IC belt, the problem is that WWE thinks that the title is prestigious in itself, and thus they rationalize that having their pet projects go over the IC Champ makes them look that much better. |

The IC title should remain.
It's a linear WWE title.

As I said in another thread, being champion of multiple continents is more meaningful than being champion of a single country.

The IC belt has been death for years now. Name one memorable reign in the last say 3 years.
Trick question, there hasn't been one.
