WWE Tournament of Champions: Could it Work?

[MrElijah]

Well with the UK Championship added that's gives us 8 total titles men can win, 10 if you include the NXT titles. In CMLL, there is a yearly tournament called Universo that has all the champs in the company duke it out, even as far to have the IWGP champ cover for a injured CMLL title holder.

The current field if there were such a thing
AJ Styles(WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
Kevin Owens(WWE Universal Champion)
The Miz(WWE Intercontinental Champion)
Roman Reigns(US Heavyweight Champion)
Rich Swann(WWE Cruiserweight Champion)
Luke Harper(SDL Tag Champion)
Randy Orton(SDL Tag Champion)
Bray Wyatt(SDL Tag Champion)
Kofi Kingston(WWE Tag Champion)
Big E(WWE Tag Champion)
Xavier Woods(WWE Tag Champion)
Shinsuke Nakamura(NXT Champion)
Johnny Gargano(NXT Tag Champion)
Tomaso Champa(NXT Tag Champion)


That's 15 guys, do you think it could work?

That's a cool list of talent, I certainly wouldn't be against it on paper.

Imagine Swann winning as a massive underdog story

[Hit Girl]

No, because it would degrade any title whose holder didn't win.

The best way to book titles and divisions in wrestling is to keep them rigidly separate.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Well, 13 guys normally, I don't imagine every year you'll have both tag champions using the Freebird rule.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Ignoring the names I imagine it would end with the WWE Champ vs the NXT champ and the WWE Champ would narrowly win to make that belt seem the most important although having 2 "top level" titles makes it a little trickier I guess.

Looking at the names then I could still imagine Nakamura narrowly losing to Styles in the Final after "upsetting" Owens in a semi although in reality Roman Reigns would probably win it all.

[H-Virus]

Well, you can't have a tournament with 15 guys, so I guess you might as well throw Sasha in there so she can make the tournament a Truly Historical Moment For Sports Entertainment History.

Quick, what's a good way to make Roman look better than every other title holder in the company.

Mass suicide.
