Some WWE fans complain there are too many titles right now in the promotion and that waters down the importance of the belts. With two main shows in Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, there are 10 titles on the main roster, with eight more on the NXT brands.

With 10 titles on the main rosters, there is no chance that they are all defended monthly on the PPV events and some titles are almost neglected at times, lowering their values. While a few of the titles have decades of legacy behind them, others are brand-new. Here is a look at every current WWE main roster championship title, ranked based on their worth to the company at this time.

Championships are props, but they are something that wrestlers work hard for. Throughout the history of WWE, championships have come and gone, and there has been a revamp of championships with new designs. Sometimes WWE have nailed it with the designs, but there have been other instances where the championship design have looked dreadful. Nonetheless, some championships are not defended on every pay-per-view which is normal, but there have been some main roster champions who have done some exceptional work to bring some prestige to the championships.

10 24/7 Championship

R-Truth is one of the most popular 24/7 Champions as he has held the title a record 54 times and counting.

The Intercontinental Championship is traditionally the stepping stone to becoming a WWE Champion.

Sami Zayn is one of the most notable wrestlers to hold this version of the Intercontinental Championship.
