[7.0] "A big let down as long as it remains inactive. Should have made its way to another wrestler before getting un-unified or else maybe it shouldn't have existed. Maybe we'll see an international champion run down the C2 and reactivate it, but as it stands, it's just a weird, immaculately designed chip Okada got to carry for half a year."
[6.0] "Shame that this is inactive considering design wise it's really amazing looking. They should've made this permanent & gotten rid of the continental & international title"
[2.0] "The ever-looming conspiracy theory that this belt only existed to give Okada more prestige without actually going for the World Title only feels more and more plausible as we get further removed from things. I'm honestly a big supporter of the idea of the Unified Belt on paper. The TNT Title has taken on the original purpose the International Title once had, and the Unified Title could elevate the aura of the Continental Classic into a fully PPV-headlining event. Now that things are no longer unified, though ... Yeah, this belt was kind of pointless."
[7.0] "Clearly it was an honorary title. But the concept of such things haven't been around for a long time. Take the super J crown for example(think of that picture of ultimo dragon)those were technically 1 title ( that consisted of 8)"
[4.0] "It was a missed opportunity for unification, and it all happened too quickly. A lot could have been done, but AEW made a mistake here. I say this from my own perspective, because I believe that unifying the Continental and International titles while they're still active... you also have to consider how much time has passed. Both titles, equally, are strong championships with solid reigns."
[8.0] "At its very beginning it meant to be the second world heavyweight championship in the company but unfortunately it turned out to be just a glorified belt that represents the unification of the international championship and the the continental championship, however there were some good matches happened by this belt like the amazing trios match at all out toronto , and the designation of this belt is undeniably astonishing"
"What was even the point of this title? To give Okada a third title for a few months. I don't even consider him have a reign with this thing since all of his "defenses" were also with the other two belts. No point have this belt existing."
[5.0] "[5.1] This is a really weird belt. It came about essentially as a means to give Omega/Okada 5 higher stakes by saying that whoever won would walk away with both the International and Continental belts alongside this new belt, and positioning it as if it was supposed to be the 1b to the Men's World Championship's 1a, only it wasn't treated like that, and despite the name, nothing was ever actually unified. The Unified belt was basically a glorified 'you have two of the major singles belts' trophy that was treated like a belt and then memory-wiped after Okada lost the Continental Classic, presumably to be for all intents and purposes forgotten until someone has two of the major singles belts again. The belt itself was gorgeous, and definitely could've worked, but overall, kind of a pointless belt, and I say that as someone who for the most part doesn't mind AEW's championships situation that's been the subject of massive amounts of discourse over the last few years."
"It can be confusing to understand the Unified Championship's purpose, but once I got the grasp on what it really does, it actually does make sense per se. It does make for a good secondary achievement for AEW wrestlers outside the World title picture, and I do hate the abundance of titles in the company but this one I can tolerate because it does have its own purpose. AEW handles its belts more differently than WWE, which most fans does tend to forget; its literally combat sports-like. They do interim champions than vacating them, and I understand why the Unified title only comes by when someone holds the Continental and International titles simultaneously. If AEW does not feud the two wrestlers that hold the Continental and International titles, that is where it will make the belt pointless."
"This may just be the most pointless championship I've ever seen. It felt like the writing team originally wanted this to be the successor to both the International and Continental titles but reversed course halfway through, so Okada was just stuck carrying around this weird paperweight for a while. Seriously, what is the point of a championship that only exists when the holder is already holding two entirely seperate championships? Why did they think Okada who was already a double champion, and also FUCKING OKADA, needed a third completely meaningless belt? Why did they create the National Championship if they were just going to seperate the International Championship back into it's own thing? Say what you will about the 24/7 belt, but atleast that belt didn't need some bullshit requirements to summon like an overcomplicated YuGiOh monster."
"Now that Okada lost and the belt is seemingly done with (I hope so. What the hell is this belt supposed to be unifying if it's just a seperate belt? ) I'm really really really confused about it all. I liked the idea behind the unification, and the concept of presenting it as a #2 to the world title to differenciate it from TNT and National. But that never really came to fruition at all. We had the really good Takeshita/Dorada and Bandido matches, and then the Contiental Classic happened, and raised so many questions about what the belt even really was repping. Now it's gone, and we're up to a whole 5 mens singles titles, and there's both International and National tiltes, and I'm just left wondering what the hell happened here? Really should've just made the belt itself more of a ceremonial thing for the Okada/Omega match, and not have it presented and announced as an actual championship... Or at least not introduce a freaking National title bro."
"[4.0/10 when rankings for this belt come as of now], To give credit, the belt looks aboslutely amazing in design, and the match to determine the champion was executed perfectly. However, it's handling has been very poor considering Okada is holding the Continental and International title, the only way to make it a truly unified title was to retire the Continental and International titles and have it's uniqueness raised through going international to defend the belt with Continental styled rules to elevate it's magnificence and prestige, however they are not being merged/unified. Which is making this title the most confusing and pointless thing on AEW tv, heck you could even merge the lineages of the two belts that still keeps the legitimacy of those who won them intact, but overall with how things have played out, and a National title now on the scene, this belt shouldn't have been anything other than decor for Okada's match."
"This is an unnecessary belt. Either truly unify the Continental and International titles, or have Okada just carry two belts. In my view, this should just be the International Title, carrying the lineage of Orange Cassidy's epic run and there should be no Continental 'title', just a cup or other acknowledgement of winning that tournament."
"Gorgeous belt. I hope it will be used like the International Championship, with frequent high-quality title matches, rather than ending up as a rarely defended pseudo-World Championship."
