WWE Divas Championship:
Champions in 2012 :
1. Beth Phoenix (204)
2. Nikki Bella (6)
2. Nikki Bella (6)
3. Layla (140)
4. Eve Torres (115*)
We all know that WWE Diva's division went from bad to worse in 2012. Divas like Kharma and Beth Phoenix who can actually wrestle left the WWE. Divas title in the year of 2012 was held by mainly two divas. Layla and Eve. Layla made her return from a long injury and won the title but she is not even half the good face as she is heel. So her title reign for me was boring and did nothing good for the failing divas division. Eve on the other hand has been really impressive as a champion with putting on quality matches also.
What to look forward to: The possibility of feud between two of the top divas in current WWE i.e. Eve and AJ Lee.

WWE Tag Team Championship:
Champions in 2012 :
1. Air Boom (146)
2. Primo-Epico (106)
2. Primo-Epico (106)
3. Kofi Kingston-R-Truth (139)
4. Team Hell No (114*)
One of the biggest positives that WWE can take from 2012 is the rebirth of the tag team division. Mainly two teams held the title in 2012. Kofi-Truth and Kane-Bryan. While the first team failed to make the tag team division interesting. Second team made it double the interesting. The dysfunctional team worked as they gave us quality matches with some hilarious comic sequences. They once completely dominated whole smackdown episode. That shows how much improved the tag team division has become.
What to look forward to : With the teams like Rey-Cara, Cody-Sandow, PTPs, Kidd-Gabriel still in contention for the title the tag team division can only get better from here.

The United States Championship :
Champions in 2012 :
1. Zack Ryder (29)
2. Jack Swagger (49)
3. Santino Marella (167)
4. Antonio Cesaro (143*)
After divas Championship, I think the worst title was United States Championship. Just look at the title holders of 2012. Ryder, Swagger, Santino all are jobbing currently. When Cesaro won the title I thought it was too early for him to win a belt in WWE. But I am really impressed with this guy's wrestling ability and he has really helped to regain the lost credibility of the United States Championship.
What to look forward to :
A long strong reign from Cesaro with couple of great feuds against guys like Christian Miz and Shramus.
2. Jack Swagger (49)

WWE Intercontinental Championship:
Champions in 2012 :
1. Cody Rhodes (236)
2. Big Show (28)
3. Cody Rhodes (21)
4. Christian (64)
5. The Miz (85)
6. Kofi Kingston (74)
7. Wade Barrett (11*)
I think Intercontinental Championship regained its lost prestige in 2012. Just look at the superstars who has held this championship in 2012. Cody, Big Show, Christian, Miz, Kofi, Barrett. They all are upper mid carders and has some kind of credibility under their name. And the matches contested for this championship have been top notch.
What to look forward to :
Continuous growth of this championship and a path to get into the main event level.
2. Sheamus (210)
3. Big Show (72)
2. Big Show (28)

World Heavyweight Championship:
Champions in 2012 :
1. Daniel Bryan (105)2. Sheamus (210)
3. Big Show (72)
WHC title continued being the no.2 title for WWE. What I like this year was the dominance shown by 2 out of 3 WHC Champions. Sheamus and Big Show completely dominated their opponents when they were champions. I liked the less throwing around of the belt which gave a chance for longer reigns.
What to look forward to :
What to look forward to :
Ziggler is yet to cash in his MITB contract. A heel turn of Orton and then the possibility of regaining the title.
WWE Championship:
Champions in 2012 :
1. CM Punk (416*)
Yes. WWE's most prestigious title was held by only one man in a whole year. He put on great matches with almost everyone. His promo's were of the best quality. His feuds got crowd really interested into. Watching him was a full worth of our time. If your WWE Champions can do all these things he gets the 'respect' of me and everyone for making the championship look like gold standard. CM Punk became synonym with the WWE title in 2012. The only thing which hurt his reign was WWE championship not being in the main event of most of the PPVs. But otherwise it has been fantastic year for this title and it's holder.
What to look forward to :
The Rock as the champion. John Cena's eventual return to the champions list.
So the year of 2012 was a fantastic year for champions. Hope 2013 will continue the trend of long, strong meaningful title reigns.
