Paul Heyman Not A Fan Of Multiple Titles In One Promotion Unless They 'Mean Something'

With the reveal of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental and United States Championships, the company now has 13 main roster championships, and Paul Heyman will no doubt hope they ‘mean something’.

The idea of a plethora of championships is a divisive one in modern wrestling, with the likes of All Elite Wrestling sometimes criticised for the amount of gold it has up for grabs. Speaking with SHAK Wrestling, former ECW President Heyman admitted he is not a fan of multiple titles for one promotion, unless they ‘mean something’:

“Yeah, I’m not a big fan of a multitude of titles unless you can give them enough time,” Heyman said. “We had proper focus at that time [Heyman’s time in charge of WWE SmackDown in the mid-2000s] on the championships that we held and didn’t feel that we needed more championships to tell better stories and felt that therefore, the introduction of more championships only waters down the championships that we already had the spotlight on at the moment.”

When asked about the multitude of titles in modern wrestling, Heyman said the following:

“What works, works. What doesn’t, doesn’t,” said Heyman. “If you can make it relevant — all pun intended to the Island of Relevancy — then it will work. And if you can’t make it relevant, then it won’t. Listen, If there are 14 titles and they all mean something, then you should be looking at doing number 15. If you have seven titles and you’re struggling to put relevancy on all seven, then you need to cut down the number that you have. What’s working? If it’s working, let’s do more of that. If it’s not working, change it.”
