There's a case to be made for both sides. For example, CM Punk was on a massive PPV losing streak when he proclaimed himself "The Best in the World." People still ate that shit up. If you are over you are going to be over. I think a true star should be able to lose and still retain intrigue. That being said, there are certainly unsavory booking decisions, in my opinion.

CM Punk was mishandled as WWE Champion in the sense that he wasn't given top billing. Being WWE Champion should mean top billing. It may have worked for Punk since John Cena was still headlining shows and being the draw, but it always irks me when someone is consistently treated like a bigger deal than the WWE Title. Also, as much as I enjoy the promo work of Paul Heyman and CM Punk, and I appreciate the effort they are putting into that story -- CM Punk is WWE Title obsessed. He's done a great job of being convincingly distracted, but eventually Punk needs some sort of championship to signify that he is The Best in the World. If not the WWE Title (Daniel Bryan could be wrapped up for the conceivable future), then the World Heavyweight Championship, definitely.

I love Alberto Del Rio, but I sort of feel that he's not being treated as importantly as he should be. He should really be hanging out with Randy Orton, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. I'm hoping that they send someone to help him beat RVD at Battleground, putting RVD on the shelf in storylines, making the World Heavyweight Title seem important, setting up a return program for RVD when he comes back and allowing Del Rio to get some more heat. Or they could just have Chris Jericho return and win it. Jericho and the World Title are always a good combination.

Maybe Triple H and Stephanie McMahon could throw Big Show a bone and give him a World Heavyweight Title shot against Alberto Del Rio at some point? Show can win the World Title and then be a monster who is being rewarded for his service to the company. It'd mean something when someone managed to beat Show.

I like Curtis Axel, but I'm wondering if he and the IC Title are a good fit. It seemed that Axel won the title simply because Fandango got a concussion, and while I've enjoyed the effort they've put into Axel, I don't know how much he is going to get out of being IC Champion. Maybe switch the title to a babyface Big E. Langston and see how he does as a champion? Heyman could offer Langston a place in his group, and Langston could emphatically say no to get further face points. Langston vs. Ryback for the IC Title would be an interesting clash at, say, Survivor Series. Another option for IC Champ is Tyson Kidd. He's ready to return and they should try to make people care about him out the gate. Natalya could be the Divas Champion pretty soon, and having Kidd win the IC Title around the same time could get the duo a bit of attention. Kidd doesn't need a super-long reign with the title -- he can drop it off to someone like Ryback or Fandango soon afterwards -- but just winning the title might help him out a little.

Dean Ambrose is pretty great, and I enjoy him as the US Champion. When Christian returns, I'd like to see Ambrose and Christian mix it up. Captain Charisma has never been the US Champion, but I don't think he really needs to win it from Ambrose. When they get Jericho back, I'd like to see him move into a feud with Ambrose, since the US Title is the only one Jericho hasn't held in the WWE. Jericho could win the title and then lose it back to Ambrose. Another guy with a shot at winning the title is Cody Rhodes, should they decide not to push him too hard as a main eventer. If Rhodes did win the US Title, I would hope that he'd bring the old-school design for it back. Ziggler is currently in a program with Ambrose, but I don't think being the US Champion would help Ziggler right now.

The Tag Titles are great on The Shield. I don't really want to see them lose them to anyone. The Prime Time Players and The Usos, as fun as they can be, just don't seem like the right teams to dethrone Rollins & Reigns. Maybe if John Morrison returned and started teaming with The Miz again, I could see a title switch. I'd just have these guys keep holding onto the belts until a proper team comes along, because then it will mean more when they lose them.

AJ Lee is doing a great job as Divas Champion, but I think it's the right call to have her lose to Natalya at Battleground. Nattie can celebrate with Tyson Kidd, and then she can eventually lose the title back to AJ who defends it against Paige at WrestleMania XXX.
