What’s the difference between someone on SmackDown winning a secondary title, and someone on Raw winning a secondary title? Maybe it’s the fact that I have no idea who this Carlito guy is, and we all know that Nova can get it done in the ring.

I gave my thoughts before on this, but I'm going to go as a little more in depth.
Right now on Smackdown, they have tried pushing a number of young guys and all have really failed to get over, except for Cena and now Reigns. You could say that part of the problem is that they have no wrestling skills or no mic skills, but that's only half of it IMO.
You see, the problem is they build these guys up for weeks in promo vids (for some of them) and then they do absolutely nothing with them. In the WWE today, you have to make an impact real quick with guys or the audience will just forget about them being any kind of a threat later. These new guys are doing jobs before they even have a chance to get over and that kills them right away. It makes the audience go "Well he's nothing special, he just jobbed to Charlie Haas, who has done nothing the past year.
If you look at the quick pushes of the young guys the WWE gave the past couple of years, you have Orton, Cena (although he jobbed to Taker a couple of times and shouldn't have) Brock and WGTT (won the tag Titles really quick)
All of them were pushed quick as heels and all of them were pretty over and looked like threats when they got pushed. Remember Cena got a shot at the WWF Title right after he turned heel? How did you feel about that? I loved the way they booked that feud between him and Brock.
I just don't understand when people say "he doesn't deserve to get anything because he's new." Why not? Why would you bury these new guys, who can actually work, in the lower cards in today's day and age. CCC looked great last night on the mic and in the ring. Cena had to go film a movie, so he needed to put someone over. And you now what, they just made a guy last night. What, should they have given the belt to RVD? Jindrack? Haas? Booker T? These are nice choices and all, but these guys have jobbed so many times the past year that giving them the Belt does nothing.
With CCC, he comes in acting like a punk, he thinks he "cooler" then everyone else, he thinks he's a better wrestler then everyone else and you know what, he just proved himself (in character) that he can get the job done. He just beat John Cena and won the US Title in his very first match. Don't you think they fans are saying to himself "Wow, this guy is for real, I can't believe he just won the Title." That's exactly what the WWE needs right now, strong characters who the fans can give a rat's ass about as champions.
Now if they make him job the title two weeks later, then they are out of there minds.
