Also, when you look at the company as a whole, the title holders are all legit. GOONTHA, Lasher, BIG DAWG, Bianca Belair, the scrappy babyface Liv Morgan, and The Usos. All have been elevated in some way, and specially in the case of the first two, elevated the shiiiiiit out of those belts.
Lashley and Gunther are legit top 10 US and IC champs, at least in the past 30-something years
