Part of the reason I believe winning an nxt title is so meaningful comes from my belief that them only defended so many times elevates their meaning. A title means less if you're getting to see it fought for constantly.

That's why I like the idea of rotating big shows. Gives youeight weeks to build up and execute a feud for the belt. Imagine Cena having too chomp at the big for 6 to 8 weeks of trying to get back the US title. By the time you get the match on tv the anticipation has had time to boil over and actually create real hype to see the title defended.
I get the mentality behind that, and it seems to be the popular route to go; but I kind of feel as if each show needs to have its own champion for its sense of identity. It helps really define the shows as separate. Let's say that Seth Rollins is the WWE World Champion on RAW: If he's feuding with John Cena on RAW and Randy Orton on SmackDown, eventually something has to give there. You can just have him on RAW until they do that PPV, but then you can't really plan Cena vs. Rollins further than that, you know? If Rollins wins, then Cena is left without an opponenet if Rollins goes to SmackDown, and if Cena wins, then SmackDown has a new top face they may not have factored in.

I'd keep the booking teams completely separate. This will mean that they're going to have their own titles, and that could mean some titles that don't even have a counter-point on the other show. An example might be that RAW wants a TV Title to fill some time on RAW, since it's going to be a three-hour show still, and they've got to be exhausting to write, so you want to throw some guys out there for a set period of time and just let them fight. SmackDown would have no need for such a thing.

Even on the tag team front. If you have The Lucha Dragons, Rhodes/Curtis, Sandow/Axel and some newly formed teams on SmackDown; you can still have your current core crop of tag teams on RAW. You don't really need too many teams to have meaningful programs over a set of tag belts.
