The 5 most irrelevant titles in WWE and NJPW

<p>

#4 WWE United Kingdom Championship

<p>

Pete Dunne is a king without a home. WWE’s failed attempts at launching the UK brand means that title slung over Dunne’s shoulder is just very lavish dressing.

Occasionally, the UK title has been defended on NXT shows as a secondary title. With the introduction of the NXT North American Championship, there is no need for another singles title.

During WrestleMania weekend, it was announced that a tournament would take place in June at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the winner will get a shot at Pete Dunne’s UK Championship. However, news on a weekly TV programme is not forthcoming. WWE wants to get the UK show on television in its home country, which is holding up the launch of the brand.

British fans are not as nationalistic as WWE may think they are. They like good wrestling, which country the wrestler is from is irrelevant. Forcing WWE’s UK fans to watch the programme on paid TV rather than WWE Network - like the rest of the world, may backfire.

As long as the UK brand remains in limbo, so does, it’s title.
