IYO: The World Heavyweight Championship

[Saving Grace]

When they introduced the brand division and the WWE title went to one brand an the WHC went to another brand, there was gonna be a #2 title and a #1 title regardless no matter what. WHC is in essence the resurrected WCW title, so naturally its going to take a backseat to the WWE title which has been in the company since the get go. Vince would never have it any other way and it will never be any other way. Whoever has the WWE title is #1 and the WHC is #2 plain and simple. Next topic discussion please.

I know. But didn't the WWE Championship take the "backseat" when Triple H was running with the World Heavyweight Championship? The World Heavyweight Championship did make it to a few pay-per-view main events when Edge, Undertaker, Punk and Jeff Hardy were holding it. I even remember Jim Ross calling it as "the most prestigious prize in the business" and nothing was more significant than that belt.

I understand that the WWE Championship is the top prize. But I like to entertain the idea that both the belts are of equal importance (in my head ).
