I love the Tag Title redesigns. I think the US and IC titles are fine the way they are.
But I would add SLIGHT modifications. For example, more blue.
US title(from PaulMartinBelts)
IC Title(by Kinshasa Wrestling)
I love the Smackdown Tag Titles, but add some blue around the globes edit source
The Raw titles...ARE OKAY. But could be better Edit source
As for the Undisputed Championship, I'd love it if Cody could deliver on his promise to give us the Winged Eagle Championship, well at least a modern belt. Edit source

When Championships mean everything
One of my favourite aspects to wrestling are the championship belts. It's a prop in the story that holds significance. It means the champion is the number one man or woman; they are the best of the best. When the belt is on the line, the match becomes far more significant or so it should. It can elevate a wrestler’s career and establish them as a legitimate star.
Seth Rollins cashing in to win the WWE world heavyweight championship comes to mind as a pivotal moment in Rollins' career and made for a worthy WrestleMania moment.
Kenny Omega's belt collector gimmick was grandiose. I wish it stuck around for longer as it made Omega feel like a powerhouse.
I won’t lie, I did shed tears when Kurt Angle won his first WWF Championship at No Mercy in 2000.
At this present time, Roman Reigns has been Universal Champion for 1138+ days. This adds value to the Tribal Chief, the belt and hopefully to the person who defeats him.
Unfortunately, it's rare that a championship belt means something and adds value. WWE and AEW have so many different belts that the importance becomes diminished. There's also the problem when the belt becomes hot potato; the TNT championship had this issue for a while. I also believe this is why the 24/7 died. It was a prop used for comedy. It had no meaning, and anyone could win the title, even Peter Rosenberg held the strap.
I like the idea of not knowing when a title will change hands. I believe a title should always raise the stakes and add drama to the mix.
At this point in time some belts do mean something; WWE Universal Title and the TNT Championship are great examples of using championships perfectly.
I hope this trend continues.
