10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 10)

10. Booker T Misses There Being Two WWE World Champions

The return of a WWE brand split was something predicted by many before it was formally announced by the company. SmackDown, whilst improved since the turn of the year, is still a distant second behind Raw in terms of importance. It's predicted that WWE will furnish the blue brand with a fresh feel and renewed sense of viability.

One way they could do that is by giving SmackDown a different set of championship belts to Raw. Of course, this is something the promotion has tried before, giving each brand a distinct World Champion. For years, WWE had both the WWE Title and the World Heavyweight Championship.

In Booker T's mind, this is something that needs to make a comeback. Speaking to WrestleZone Radio, the multi-time champion said he was looking forward to seeing more than one World Champion in the promotion again.

Fans will be divided on that issue, because it was only a few years ago that WWE decided to unify both top belts. For Booker, it's imperative that this dynamic makes a return in order to help each show stand out from the other.
