Ranking all of WWE's current champions (post-WrestleMania 35/Superstar Shake-up)
The Superstar Shake-up is now over and WrestleMania 35 season is officially behind us. With new champions crowned and the rosters freshened up for the coming WWE calendar year, it's time to assess the current champions and the possibilities they currently face.
Since the last time we did this list, the women's tag team titles have finally been introduced, and there are now a whopping 17 championships in WWE (albeit, with 16 holders at the moment), which shows how expansive the company has become.
Which champions have the most going for them right now? Which the least? Who should you be most excited about watching? Let's take a look.
#16 The IIconics
Unfortunately, the new women's tag team titles aren't off to a good start. The Elimination Chamber match in February exceeded expectations, but Sasha and Bayley were then booked poorly as champions, and they dropped the belts to the least capable team in the company, the IIconics, on the biggest stage, leading to backstage turmoil.
Since WrestleMania, the IIconics have proven over and over again that putting the titles on them was a mistake. They are among the poorest ring workers in the division and their promos rarely elicit much reaction from the crowd.
Watch the eight-woman tag team match from this week's SmackDown and you can see immediately just how much superior the other six women in the match were, even Mandy Rose.
For the sake of the titles and their credibility, we can only hope that Asuka and Kairi Sane, with Paige as their mouthpiece, take them as soon as possible. That combination of three former NXT Women's Champions would be poised to establish the prestige of these fledgling championships. As long as the IIconics hold them, that prestige will steadily decrease.
