Now onto the lesser titles. The Cruiserweight Championship was continued ever since WCW, so technically it is probably one Championship. But if someone did do a list of the Title History of the CW Championship, they should make a note of when it became WWE property, and when it had the name change. I can't remember, but is the Cruiserweight Championship actually unified with the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship? I think i just remember the LHC being discontinued.

The World Tag Team Championship is actually a compilation of both the WWE Tag Team Championship and the WCW Tag Team Championship. SmackDown!'s WWE Tag Team Championship is basically a new title, although someone might argue that the WCW and WWE titles where split up. I think of them as new titles, however.

I think of the WWE United States Championship as a new title as well. Just as the World Heavyweight Championship, the GM took a share of what makes up the opposing brands title history, and created a new one in an attempt to match it. So Eddie Guerrero, The Big Show, John Cena and Booker T are the only real champs of this title's history.

I'd LOVE to see a little angle pop up with Booker T or John Cena (whoever wins The Best Out of Five Series) trying to establish the US Title as a Heavyweight Title. All the champs other than Cena have been a Heavyweight Championat some point in their career, so it would be fitting for John Cena to feud with a WWE Champion in JBL.
