The only people within WWE's ecosystem at this point who are in a position to do so are...
Missing Universal:
Edge
Jeff Hardy
John Cena
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
Sheamus
Triple H
Missing WWE:
Goldberg
Missing WWE & Universal:
Dolph Ziggler
The only ones I can really even kind of see happening are Edge and Orton to be honest. Maaaaybe Cena, Goldberg, or Sheamus if circumstances lined up for it.

There's WWE execs reading this board it is absolutely essential to not remind them that Goldberg has something he can still win

I’d have to say Orton is the best bet.

With so many world titles around throughout the company history, winning one (whilst still an achievement) doesn't mean as much as it used to be.

I think VKM is the most likely to do it next

The Rock? He has held the World title when it was the WCW title I guess?

Brock was undisputed champion, doesn't that mean he's already achieved this? Or doesn't it work that way.

Brock was the reason the titles ended up splitting due to his storyline exclusivity that Smackdown GM Stephanie McMahon negotiated with him, so it's very hard to give him credit in particular. However, there is one little caveat, in that there was a time after the Cena/Orton TLC match that the reunified WWE World Heavyweight title was represented by both the modern WWE title (with scratch logo) and Big Gold, and Lesnar was the last person to hold the titles in that fashion, so maybe he somewhat counts as a WHC holder. |

Cena will win at least one Universal title.

It's almost like having 2 world titles is f***ing stupid or something ...

It's almost like having 2 world titles is f***ing stupid or something ... Not when there’s two different brands, which operate fairly independently from one another. |

"Ooh this guy's the best in the company, except for this guy who's also the best in the company". So dumb. |

I'll never understand the logic of only wanting one top title. If you're doing a brand split then the brands should be completely separate with all of their own stuff, otherwise the whole endeavor is just pointlessly dividing the roster.
Ideally the brand split should come with both shows being completely kept separate from each other with their own look and feel, but WWE's too shit to actually do that so we get this wishy-washy, "I guess Roman's on this week's Raw for no reason," stuff and both shows pretty much just feeling the same as each other besides length-wise.

"Ooh this guy's the best in the company, except for this guy who's also the best in the company". So dumb. The point of the two brands is that it’s essentially two different companies. You can watch just Raw and follow that show and its wrestlers or watch just Smackdown and follow that show and its wrestlers. Without two champions, the whole brand split makes no sense. |

But it's not, it's all the same company. While I'm at it the brand split is f***ing stupid too. |

Every time someone talks about have one world belt I bring this up. Remember Triple H’s reign of terror? It was only on RAW but, if there was only one belt we would have to endure it on RAW and Smackdown. And someone like Eddie Guerrero wouldn't have touched the world belt. |

But that's less of an argument for two world belts, and more of a critique of bad writing. Fact is WWE typically can't write angles for shit for the majority of their roster if they don't have some belt McGuffin attached to the feud. That's why there's two world titles. It makes no sense, but it's the crutch they rely on. |

It's a two pronged result, either it forces them to actually work more varied storytelling into their various shows, or things just stay equally stagnant. Looking at the recent history of this company, which way are we all leaning? Seems pretty obvious to me, but at the same time, the double belt crutch definitely doesn't help their creative vision; that is if they even have any left. |
