It would help bring back the feeling of anything could happen from years ago since it keeps people interested in feuds and shows. Similar to how last few years a title changes hands on overseas tours which helps generate some interest by the time they return back to the US.

As long as they don't go overboard like the WWE hardcore title which had a new champion almost every show and became a throw-away title that got no support in terms of PPV build or importance.
The last time I remember them making a huge fucking deal out of anything lower than WWE/WHC/IC/US title-level would have to be wayyyyyyyyyyy back at No Mercy 2002, which crowned new WWE Tag Team Champions. I don't recall if the World Tag Team Championships were awarded or defended (EDIT: OK, did some checking. Christian & Jericho had a successful World Tag Team title defense.) at that event or not, but either way they made a pretty big noise about it since the tag titles were being formally affected by the brand split.
