On the latest installment of 5 things on WWE.com, the topic was five championship predictions. The top prediction as voted by the universe was that there will be a new WWE championship. Tom Phillips then went as far as suggest a WWE Network championship which would be defended weekly on Main Event. This actually doesn't seem like the worst idea, actually a pretty decent one. The idea of a championship that is only defended on the network might help drum up interest and maybe add importance to shows such as main event. Maybe they don't even create a new championship and just have the US title become Network exclusive? What are your thoughts on a title that is only defended on the network?

So basically a "TV Championship", but for the network?
It could be good IMO if they actually had it defended and it didn't get lost in the shuffle. Id be willing to give It a chance.

No interest. If it's a title that's not defended on Raw, that doesn't make me think "I gotta watch Main Event" -- it just makes me think the title's not important enough for Raw.

I wouldn't hate it but it won't be an important title. I still prefer Main Event over Raw.

The last thing they need is another title belt with zero prestige when the IC and US titles are already never defended. I'm actually going to bring up an idea for what they should do with the midcard belts in my next blog post.

I'm fine with the IC and will be even happier when it is the ONLY midcard belt. a Network Title.

Hardcore title should be back and be defended all the time on the Network.
Imagine watching Countdown and someone is giving their thoughts and then someone rips through the green screen and pins them for the title!?

Yeah... not on board with this idea.
It's bad enough that the US Title is basically a meaningless paperweight. If anything, we need one less title, not one more.

Yeah so they should just bring back the Hardcore Title and cut into programming at random times just to see a title change. Why not? We can see Ryback actually win a title.

What's the point? It would end up going to Cena anyhow.

I would LOVE a Network Championship that was only defended on Main Event, Superstars, and PPV's.
IF they finally canned the US title....

Hardcore title should be back and be defended all the time on the Network. It'll never happen. The hardcore title was basically just guys hitting each other over the head with things. It'd look weird doing it now where they can't hit each other over the head with anything.

Maybe if they can get Vince or the writers to give a crap about Titles other than the World Title when it's on Cena then yeah. The more I watch NXT the more I have hope that WWE will be unstoppable when Trip gets control. I wouldn't mind a Network Title. Zack Ryder wins it, uses his Internet Title for it, haha.

Sadly I could see the WWE doing this by putting it on a quasi-main event level talent with some popularity and then putting them exclusively on the Network shows and the PPVs. Could be a way to turn a slowly falling Ziggler or reintroduce Ryder to the big time again.
But as others have said, with the other mid-card belts being used as dueling props another title makes little sense.
Also, do we want a belt that would have $9.99 side plates?

The only possible way people would want to see it is if it was only contested by main event talent like Cena, Orton, Bryan and so on.
As an undercard title it would just be more clutter.
