Becky Champ Champ
Bayley Dos Straps
Keith..... no catch phrase... yet.
I’m not a fan of the gimmick. Purely, because there are wrestlers on the roster who could benefit form one of those titles annd push through another storyline on already long shows.
Yes it’s nice to give the wrestlers the respect they deserve and it’s a nice spectacle. But it’s a touch played out now.

I mean, the Becky one was undone almost immediately at least, and the Keith Lee one works for the purpose of elevating the Cole match and really trying to play it as the biggest fight in the history of NXT like they were talking it up as.
Bayley's pointless on the face of it but I guess it's a mix of she's out of challengers but they're dragging the reign out for some reason (same logic went into Becky spending a few months around the Women's Tag titles last year), the tag division's a joke that needs all the help it can get, and for some reason they decided she and Sasha need as many bad promos as possible on all three brands.

The visual of having one wrestler with multiple title belts looks really cool and can really help elevate one's starpower. Miz, in particular, looked like a megastar carrying the Unified Tag Team tiles and the US title at once, and then there's Ultimo Dragon and the J Crown.
However, this effect is diminished if it keeps happening all the time. They are beginning to approach that territory.

I’ve wanted Lee to lose the NA Title for months now because he’s so far above it and guys like Grimes, Priest, and Lumis need something to fight over in the actual midcard.
Hopefully Kross makes that happen quickly.

Yeah they kind of booked themselves into a corner with Keith having both belts because he is absolutely the right person to go over Cole, but unless there are major shenanigans, it wouldn't help him to lose the NA title in the weeks he was being built up to main event and win the big one.

There’s a reason I call their feud “The Fireworks Factory of WWE”. |

It did look cool when Kane was the IC champ, tag team champ and was fighting for the World title as well.

They all are just stealing early 1996's Lex Luger gimmick and with none of the comedic genius

 No one will ever look as cool as Último Dragón, so why even bother? |

We need a delusional heel who makes old replicas of belts and carries them around claiming they won them on events that never happened. Evertime they lose a match they make up an excuse on why it wasn't sanctioned for the titles or it should be a dq for winning any and all titles. |

I think people look bad ass with two belts. I hate to defend WWE, but the Becky one was undone quick, the Bayley one is her as a singles and tag champ so it's different, and I thought the Lee/Cole match was more copying NJPW than themselves.

Apparently at the time, some of the NWA belts were variations of the 10lbs of Gold version of the NWA World Heavyweight Title and Ultimo had the NWA World Welterweight, Middleweight and Jr. Heavyweight belts. |

I love when wrestlers have multiple title belts.
In an era today where there's so many titles, it's a good way to make someone look like a huge deal.
I'm always reminded of those badass photos of Dan Severn when he had multiple belts. They made him look unstoppable.
Well that and the mustache.
Back on track, I think they should let Lee keep the NA and NXT world title for a few months at least, let him be put over as a fearless fighting champion.
And eventually you can have a slimy heel cheat to take the NA belt off of him.
