Off the top of my head, Mania 30 and Bryan's title victory was probably the last time I personally cared about a title in the WWE not counting NXT.

In general, WWE's first brand split era did a lot of damage to the prestige of the belts. Between WWE's terrible booking and bloated roster, they made it a lot harder to actual care about the belts having any special feel to them.

NJPW does a really good job making their top belts feel very special but their lower tier belts are mostly worthless in terms of importance. ROH and TNA/Impact have been hit-or-miss with their belts prestige.
