The only reason to rename the titles is so that the lineage of the I-C and US titles isn't lost, but the slate can also be wiped clean with regards to the positioning of the title.
With the WWE champion floating across three shows, the individual Raw, SmackDown and Extreme champions would become the focal point and most important exclusive wrestlers on their individual shows.
It is too easy, and a tired IWC cliche, to say "good booking is the answer". But wouldn't rejuvinating the I-C and US titles and clarifying the confusing title situation BE "good booking"? So essentially... there's no need to resort to good booking, when they could just solve anything with good booking???
In the words of Jim Cornette "it doesn't make any fucking sense".
