So according to MetsFan4Ever of reddit fame, there's much talk about the titles post-WrestleMania:

I'm torn on what to think if this actually happens. Where does that leave the mid card talent? If the IC and US Titles are treated like the WWE and WHC of previous years and will be main eventing PPVs, there's nothing to stop the WWE from just ignoring storylines for midcard talent and it potentially stunts their development.
This would be a prime opportunity to introduce an actual Internet Championship that solely relies on fan voting/input for storylines and feuds.
After talking to a few people today at the SmackDown tapings word going around is that Brock Lesnar is very close to agreeing on a new contract with the WWE. With the lack of popularity that Roman Reigns has received as of late, Triple H is pushing Vince on the idea of keeping the WWE Championship on Brock.
This would also have huge ramifications with two of the under card matches on the show.
If Brock retains the title it would in all likelihood mean a continued "special attraction schedule" for him. Triple H as of late has been big on the idea that the I.C. Title and the U.S. Title should mean something again. The plan, if Brock retains is to put the U.S. Title on John Cena and the I.C. Title on Daniel Bryan. The theory would be that two legit Superstars would bring legitimacy to both titles. Also, while Brock is gone both men can main event Raw, Smackdown, PPVs and house shows with those titles on top of the card. Which again, would bring back the legitimacy of both belts.
A lot can change between now and WrestleMania. But this is just one of the many ideas that are being discussed. I have not been told of any other ideas, but if I hear more, I will be sure to pass the information along to this great community.
