I hope they keep the Big Gold Belt as the title. Triple H's love affair with NWA history should allow this. They won't, but I will miss the WHC. IMO the most recognizable title ever. The Big Gold Belt is second only to the Winged Eagle in my book. If we can't get the WE back, then keep the BGB.

I wish picking lottery numbers was as easy as predicting what WWE creative is likely going to do.
I called this months ago when Cena was announced as the number one contender for the WHC. He's holding that bitch until 'Mania...and then we'll get our "big match" against Orton.
Because Orton and Cena are clearly the greatest feud going all the way back to OVW. It's like poetry, it kinda rhymes. Every stanza kinda rhymes with the last.

Not a chance. Just setting up a Champion v. Champion match at the Rumble to try and get a huge buyrate to start the road to Whogivesaf***Mania. So they're setting up a champion vs champion match (which they've done on Raw tons of times so it's not even a big deal anymore) to end a PPV, and they're setting it up for a PPV that's not even the next PPV? I have a hard time believing even WWE are that crazy.

PLEASE DON'T UNIFY THE TITLES. THE ROSTER IS SO STACKED AND NOBODY WILL EVER BE NEW WORLD CHAMPION Honestly, I feel like for the most part having two titles didn't do much in the way of creating new stars. The only people who ever REALLY benefited from there being two world titles IMO were Batista and Rey Mysterio, who really did get made by their wins and were equal to the WWE champion. Everyone else that held it was also the WWE champion at some point, which was still treated like the bigger deal and the "real" championship, or they ended up back in the midcard anyway. Especially in recent years, the WHC was either basically just the same level as what the IC title used to be or it was used to pad the number of title reigns for guys like Cena, Orton and Edge.

Cena, Orton, Punk, Bryan, Show, uhhhhhhhhhh..... They could have more, but for one reason or another everyone gets made to look like crap unless they're specifically getting a big push, like Big E and Roman Reigns.

no wrestlemania is the time to do it.
TLC: Cena vs Orton TLC Match unification ends in no contest after huge table spot, keep their titles
Royal Rumble: Cena vs Orton Rematch: orton gets intentionally dq'd. title can't change hands they keep their belts. CM Punk wins rumble. Next night on raw- HHH anounces that he is taking the choice out of cm punks' hands and that the main event of wrestlemania will be a triple threat unification match.
Elimination chamber; Cena and orton retain in sepearate chamber matches.
Wrestlemania: Cena vs Punk vs Orton. Unification

I have a hard time believing even WWE are that crazy. TLC is a throw away with a built in draw and they'll build the tension for RR. As for being done on RAW and not a big deal, did you not just see a PPV headlined by BIG SHOW which came after Vince stating they need to put spectacles on PPV again?

The idea of a title unification isnt as significant as it would have been any other time in history. Cena v Orton reeks of "been there done that" You know the match will be unspectacular. You know Cena wins in the end. I just wouldnt give a crap about that, especially headlining WM/

But now that we know WWE's willing to take a chance on different types of talent, I say it's high time. I hadn't thought of a title unification prior to Mania, but I like the idea of it. Apparently WWE also realizes Cena/Orton isn't worthy of main eventing the biggest show of the year.

Looks like it. We really don't need two World Titles any more.

That's the fault of Money in the Bank, not the World Championship. That kind of stuff will still happen as long as the WWE keeps having that match.

Show was distracted so he gets another or he faces Mark Henry who he is scheduled to face on all the house shows in December and as for Cena, probably Sandow or Del Rio because they always find away to cram him in the title scene.

That way when somebody wins the WWE title, you know they're actually trying to push this person. None of this half assed "World Champion" crap that Cole can spout off for someone like Swagger, buying them 2 extra seconds to make them sound important before Cena makes him tap a like a little bitch. If they want people to be over and WWE title contenders, don't use a prop from WCW, build main event storylines between face and heel main eventers/upper midcarders. It's really not that hard to do.

I'm not sure, between Sandow losing and the last two MitB winners for the real world title being established main eventers Orton and Cena, I think WWE is dialing back on MitB-based shock wins.

I think I can digest the concept of MITB a lot more with one world champion. Having two world champions, combined with someone as un-built up or undeveloped as Swagger winning one (and that's not even mentioning him being so dull as champion that his mascot was more over than he was) just devalued the entire scene as a whole. This also means that we won't have to sit through "slump pushes" for briefcase holders just because they're challenging for a lesser belt like the WHC.

What if we had a Fatal-Four Way for the Unified WWE Championship at WMXXX? At the Rumble, have Punk and Bryan being the final two and they end up both eliminating one another leading to an indecisive finish. This somehow leads to the two them inserted into a major four-way with Cena and Orton for the title.
