1. Universal (Top Championship on the flagship show. Ironically, I personally never ranked the Big Gold Belt above the WWE Championship Title Belt regardless of appearance, and show / brand designation. Plus, Universal is bigger than World)
2. World (number one in my heart, but currently number 2 on television)
3. Intercontinental (I wouldnt care if the IC is on NXT, its still ranked higher than the US in my opinion. Plus, Intercontinental is bigger than United States)
4. United States (1 Country vs. 7 Continents, you understand)
5. Cruiserweight
1. Raw Womens (Flagship show, longer history)
2. Smackdown Womens
1. Raw Tag Team (Flagship show, longer history)
2. Smackdown Tag Team
Ill be the first to point out the inconsistency of my rankings and reasoning behind my choices. Ive never been one to give a $#!+ about other peoples opinions, unless they agree with me.
NXT used to be just WWEs developmental brand. It has turned into WWEs 3rd brand. Yes theres a difference, but its still a step below Raw and Smackdown. To compare it to sports, it would be like playing for a college and playing for professional minor leagues.
Usually in most cases you can immediately tell which Championship Title Belt has and / or displays the most prestigious just by looking at how many gems there are in the plates. The WWE Universal and WWE World Championship Title Belts have more jewels than I care to count. The only way the NXT Championship Title Belt would have a stones / rocks on it is if Steve Austin and Dwayne Johnson had a tug of war with the Big X Belt. Id also like to add that the NXT Championship Title Belt is the laziest, ugliest design in the history of Championship Title Belts. The WWE Hardcore Championship Title Belt was at least a Winged Eagle. The nWo Championship Title Belt was at least a Big Gold Belt. Even the Divas Championship Title Belt had more creativity and it at least had effort in the design.
You can also just take a look at how long each show is. Raw has 3 hours on USA, Smackdown has 2 hours on USA, NXT has 1 hour on the WWE Network. If NXT was a show on cable TV, it wouldnt last 3 full seasons. Oh wait, it didnt, and it wouldnt again. Simply put, WWF is to WCW is to ECW as WWE is to TNA is to ROH as Raw is to Smackdown is to NXT.
NXT is great, Ill admit that, but lets not lose sight of the fact that NXT is short for NeXT. The NXT SuperStars are the NeXT WWE SuperStars, and not the other way around. If John Cena were to win the WWE Universal Championship, he would Ric Flairs record. There should really be an argument for that. Now, if John Cena were to turn heel, head to Orlando, takeover NXT (pun intended) and become the NXT Champion, would you consider Cena the 16 time World Champion?? Actually, I dont really know how I would answer that. HAHA!!
