They don't have to step down either of the titles... just have the fucking champions defend them. On a regular basis. In feuds.

They just made a big deal about Mox not defending the US Championship in quite awhile, but that was less because it's true and more about pushing Reigns. Instead of laying the groundwork for either a) someone chasing chickenshit heel ducking them, or b) playing the role of Horsemen to keep Ambrose as champion like he's the new Ric Flair, they instead made it an afterthought for Roman to make a dig at Dean for that juicy dissention in The Shield crap that will likely lead to a break up that doesn't really need to happen and affects so many decent tag teams (let's break them up just for the sake of it - INSTANT FEUD!!!).

The bigger issue is that WWE has a bad habit in recent years of just putting belts on people and then forgetting about it, unless they're one of the world champions... and then even that applied to the "Big Gold Belt" as of late. Really, the last time anyone seemed to have given a damn about the midcard titles is when Cody broke out the white leather I.C. strap. Remember Curtis Axel lost it to Big E? Henning* Jr doesn't seem to really give a shit that even happened and is now just paling around with Ryback. No war. No feud. Just the requisite rematch, another loss, and then an "oh well". And then, this goes back to not pushing people and wondering why nobody is over or credible. Why should I care about any of the championships if your fucking champions don't?
