I was looking at the wwe title history and realized the title never changes hands on raw anymore. It used to change on raw sometimes but the last time it happened was July 25, 2011. That's almost 3 years since a raw wwe title change. Is it just me or should wwe change the title on raw more often?

Why should WWE waste money by letting the title change on RAW than on PPV or the Network?

They'll do it next time it would make sense to do so.

It would be cool as a rare thing to see on RAW when the WWE Title change hands. However, it's best to leave the WWE Title change for PPVs. It makes more sense. If there's a storyline that would make sense for the title to change hands on free TV, hey why not.

The World Heavyweight title changed hands on Smackdown last year but it should be a very rare occurrence.

I like that it's rare. It made more sense to have title changes on Raw back when they were in the ratings war with Nitro, which is probably why two of Austin's title wins came on Raw, but no need for it now.

Because it is the only title they care about and use correctly.

Because it's a very Attitude Era thing to do. If they give away a title change on free tv, why should I bother ordering the PPV?

I hate that Trips likes long title reigns. I like short title reigns that keep things unpredictable. With long title reigns you know a title won't change unless it's a blockbuster match so the other title matches doesn't intrest as much. I like where you never know when titles will change. I hate year long reigns. They're boring as  . |

They lose money, ratings don't mean anything anymore from what I understand so it would be silly.
Plus now with 1 title we probably will only see a few changes per year between the same few people for the next 5 years.

Since Hulk Hogan won the WWE Title in 1984, there have been 5 (including Hogan's 1984 win) year long title reigns. Though I did include Hogan's 364 day reign. And no one ever held the WHC for a year. Hulk Hogan - January 23, 1984 - February 5, 1988 Randy Savage - March 27, 1988 - April 2, 1989 Hulk Hogan - April 2, 1989 - April 1, 1990 John Cena - September 17, 2006 - October 2, 2007 CM Punk - November 20, 2011 - January 27, 2013 Though if you really wanted to you could throw in Diesel's 358 day reign since it was close to a year. So it's a rare thing to have a year long reign. |

Why should WWE waste money by letting the title change on RAW than on PPV or the Network? See, had they applied that logic in 1998-1999, the title might actually still mean something.

With long title reigns you know a title won't change unless it's a blockbuster match so the other title matches doesn't intrest as much. I like where you never know when titles will change.

Guys holding the belts for long periods of time (if booked well) adds prestige and makes the titles important. Frequently changing the titles just to change them ruins the credibility of the titles...kind of like what's happened to every title the WWE has. |
