It's just for contrast to establish the stakes of Cena's potential title win. Flair's only won the WWE championship twice, WCW championship 8 times. They count 6 of his NWA title runs because they fall under the jurisdiction of WWE and its recognized title lineages.

 So typical WWE nonsense of if it doesn't happen in their bubble it never happened. Yeah another reason I just prefer other wrestling companies. They celebrate all wrestling even when not their own history.

Although, WWE didn't decide this, WCW did in 1991. WWE merely inherited the title runs when they bought WCW and merged the title into the WWE championship in late 2002. Flair's other title runs are not only a different championship lineage, but of a championship WWE doesn't own the rights to.

And I wouldn't say WWE ignores wrestling outside their own bubble. In the past year they've brought in numerous international wrestlers. Two months ago they cross promoted with NOAH. Just in the past couple of weeks they hosted a TNA title match and a TNA X-division title match.
