What makes the Championship Event inspiring? I think the elements that dissenters to the Championsplit find important are not the same elements supporters or enablers of the Championsplit think are as vital.

One fertile line of discussion here would then be:

If we're going to have two Championships, what more can we do to make each of them as inspiring as the current single Championship?
