But because SD is not the HHH show, they dont say that. Or I assume thats the reason anyway.
Yeah, I've always assumed that the WWE Championship on SmackDown! is actually the Undisputed Championship that Chris Jericho started at Vengeance 2001 by winning both the World Championship (WCW Championship) and (the then) WWF Championship. I've always considered it to be WWF Championship+WCW Championship= Undisputed Championship/WWE Championship. I don't know why, but I never considered the titles to be unifyed. I just pictured them defended, retained and lost together. Almost as if they were one championship.

I think the WWE should use this somehow, and have Booker T claims he wants to become a six-time WCW Champion, and a first-time WWE Champion. I can even see Booker T bringing back the WCW Championship to represent his heavyweight championship reign.

If the WWE took this route, it would make the heavyweight title scene on RAW look almost completely different. On SmackDown!, they have the spirits of the past surrounding the championship and its travels, while on RAW, you have guys like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Y2J, Kane, Maven, Batista, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, etc. trying to establish a new championship, that can take the heat of the "Ultimate Championship" on SmackDown! away from it. It would almost make RAW look like the underdog show, which I can see working for it, sinc eit has the recognizable live timeslot.
