With only two singles titles per show, the focus will be shifted back onto the minor titles and will once again be shown the same respect they once knew. Young and upcoming wrestlers will treat the titles like world championships, leading to feuds based around the titles. As it stands, matches for the minor titles, as and when they happen, are booked seemingly at random and with no prior build-up.
