Stephanie and Josh were quick to determine that there are too many titles before moving on to discuss the difference between current-day WWE and AEW in regard to the sheer number of titles. They marched through the early days of WWE and the establishment of the Intercontinental Title, the Attitude Era and WCW during that period, and finally, the brand split, which brought on even more titles. Discussion flowed back into AEW and their obsession with titles during their short history and non-title trinkets before Josh and Steph made a final decision on whether or not the midcard title situation of today is worse or better than previous eras.
