WATCH: Two Titles Change Hands On WWE SmackDown
Two for one. Titles are about as simple of a concept as you are going to get in wrestling. Someone is wearing a belt and therefore they are (in theory at least) the best wrestler around. Someone else wants to take the title from them and a big match is set up as a result. That is how things have gone for but now we are seeing another way for titles to change hands.
This week’s edition of WWE SmackDown ended with SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte and Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte swapping their titles. This was done as the two have both been drafted from one show to another, meaning that both titles were on the opposite show. The same solution was used to change the SmackDown and Raw Tag Team Titles between the New Day and the Street Profits last year.
This was a bit strange. Check out the exchange, plus both champions in action:

Opinion: I’m still not wild on this idea as it doesn’t exactly make the titles feel important. Yeah they both have titles, but if they’re able to just drop one and pick up another, how valuable can either of them be? It is a problem that could be solved simply by changing the names of the titles, but that does not seem to be something that WWE is going to be doing anytime soon.
What did you think of the segment? Who will hold their title longer? Let us know in the comments below.
