I'd..
a) Unify all the brands and Have one world title, the IC title, the tag titles and the women's and cruiserweight titles, as well as one other midcard title ranking below IC (Euro or TV).
b) Unify all 3 world championships, and both tag championships. Those would be split brand and appear on all 3 brands. As for brand exclusives, Raw would have the IC title and Women's. ECW would have the TV title and Harcore title. And Smackdown would have the US and Cruiserweight titles.
That way with 3 seperate brands you still have just as much, if not more to work with title wise, but there's 2 less titles. Then all the brands have larger pools of talent for the Main Event and Tag divisions which is needed.
The midcard and undercard titles exclusive to brands stay put and have plenty to work with, as well as having the option for Tag Title wrestling on all 3 brands without dividing the division completely.
or, what I'd prefer overall...
c) Unify Raw and Smackdown as 1 Brand. The WWE. Unify both World titles, Both sets of Tag Titles, and merge the US title into the IC title.
Then you have one solitary WWE with those titles, and 2 shows and a larger array of talent to work with. Keep the women's division, and maybe the cruiserweight division.
In any event, that would be the WWE. As for ECW, it'd be the second brand. Complete with the ECW Title, The TV title, and maybe even the cruiserweight division.
WWE:
WWE Championship
IC championship
World Tag Champions
European Champion
Women's champion.
ECW:
ECW Champion
TV Title
*possibly Cruiserweight (if moved from other brand to make way for Euro) or Hardcore title (for weekly extreme rules matches)
Also keep in mind, with the merger of Raw and SD as one brand with two shows, you have more talent with more time to build, but any excess talent can be sent to strengthen ECW and perhaps give them an extra 30 to 60 minutes.
With any of these plans, you're considerably improving the quality of the product. Whether it be a 1, 2, or 3 brand set up. You instantly increase fued possibilites, talent pool, and most importantly the clear status of World Champion(s).
In all these scenarios, the amount of active titles on WWE programming is lessened as well as done better.
