I never really liked the idea behind the secondary titles. Like what's the point what do they symbolize? I know they are necessary since it gives the midcard something to do but still it bothers me.
So at work I was think about Austin Aries and the trade in of the X Division title and why not something similar with the IC and US title for the WWE title and WHC? Like 4 months or a certain amount of title defenses and you earn a title shot. Trade in not necessary and maybe the timer gets reset

I'd love the hell out of that and it would really make the titles feel like they matter.

Agreed, love it. There needs to be a reason to want to hold these belts, they need to show that there is correlation between being a IC/US champion and being a guy who will be on the rise soon.

It would make them more visible stepping stones. I think it makes sense.

They could do it for the Rumble since that usually when the filler title matches happen.(Looks at Holly vs Lesnar 2004)

They actually could have done this when Cody was IC champ. It would have at least saved us a few Del Rio/Sheamus PPV matches by giving Cody a few shots.
But yeah, I like this idea.

The mid card titles mean a great deal to me. It's the next step up to the ultimate championship trophy. I don't agree with the trade-in thing. The bigger problem is the WWE not defining which mid card championship is more important.... has more significance. To me, that championship is the Intercontinental Championship due to its history in the company. The pecking order has been lost, and there's really no definitive mid card championship. If they can convince us that there is one, I think the value of each championship would have more significance than it does now. I don't think any wrestler should have to trade in a championship to get a shot at it, especially since the mid card champion should be considered a top contender.... if not the number one contender to the top championship in the company and be in the line for a shot anyway.
