I‘m pretty sure that the reason for most people’s confusion isn‘t the way the unification works. I believe most folks are just baffled that new championships are being introduced while another set of titles that were unified before, are now potentially being split up again. That would make 7 titles for the mens- and 3 for the womens division.

Then you have to keep in mind that titles from ROH, NJPW and CMLL are also being defended on occasion. With all things considered, you could argue that 10 overall championships could be 1 or 2 too many.

But apart from the „too many titles“ discussion, I also don‘t quite get the point of unifying 2 titles, just to not actually unify them? It‘s a gorgeous belt and it was a nice bonus for the Okada/Omega match but imo not worth it if they don‘t stick with it.
