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. And players from WM 1 are in each of the wrestlers corners, Cena(Hogan), Orton(Orton), Punk (Piper) and Bryan(T)

It's time to stop living in the "participation trophy" society that we live in & have just one world champion.

The brand split has been dead for a long while now. Unifying the Titles can help reshape the midcard and hopefully will cause a positive domino effect of allowing more people on the card to get more focus.

I think Cena vs Orton could actually be really good this time around.

I lived during the days of WWE having ONE world champion and it was great. Sure, not everyone gets a chance to be a world champion, but that's the point. When you have one champion when someone wins it it will mean soo much more.

When you have one champion when someone wins it it will mean soo much more. Not only that but it also helps make sure you don't have a dozen or so guys who are 4 to 12 time champions. It was once a rare feat to win the title even 5 times, and nowadays you've got so many people who are given that opportunity...it becomes meaningless.

I'm not gonna lie, I was actually looking forward to seeing John Cena take on a wide range of talented upper-midcarders while yelling about how he's the champ and stuff. It's what he's best at, and I was happy they found a way to do it without detracting from the real main angle of the show.
So Cena/Orton for both belts is just lame as hell to me.

what you didn't see was off-camera HHH told Cena he needed to take better care of that belt and shine the thing for once. Cena just wanted to make sure he showed HHH that he listened to him before he left for the evening.

On the one hand, I'd have loved to have seen Wrestlemania XXX end like Mania XX did, with Bryan and Punk each celebrating with the top titles (my booking would have Bryan win the WWE, Punk win the World). But it's been past time to unify the belts.

Cena/Orton I Quit & Iron Man matches were really good imo, but the feuds themselves have been just awful

After years of uselessness, it looked like they'd finally found a purpose for the WHC again as a way to give Cena something to do out of the main event, but I guess they're so starved for stars that they're going to need him back at the top ASAP after all. If Cena unifies the titles, I see him having a short transitional reign to put over a new star. Maybe Cena/Bryan II.

I prefer it that way, actually. Means when someone does become a new world champion, it feels like a huge deal. Guys like Swagger being able to say they're former world champions just feels so lame. 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. That's the fault of booking cheap cash ins, not the MiTB concept itself. MiTB is good as a way to break the monotony so that the title scene isn't the same guys over and over for months on end. Ideally a guy could carry the briefcase for months and the briefcase itself can be the new "test run prize" instead of giving people paper title reigns.

Cena can still have those midcard feuds down the line once he's out of the title picture. Have him drop the unified belt and then to on a 2000s Shawn Michaels run.

Ideally a guy could carry the briefcase for months and the briefcase itself can be the new "test run prize" instead of giving people paper title reigns. MITB exists for those cheap cash ins. You can easily give a superstar a test run before giving them a title without having them hold onto a briefcase, and it'd be better that way because it's not so obvious that you're pushing them toward the main event scene. It also allows for more flexibility with a push because you can abort the push at any time if it looks like it's not going well, where as if they're holding the briefcase, you're obligated to give them a title run, unless you want to bury them like they did Sandow.

I'd be more excited for this if it was anyone but Cena and Orton.
Hell if it was f***ing Santino Marella vs Yoshi Tatsu for both titles I'd be more excited than I am for this angle.

If they all setting things up for a title unification, then let me applaud them. It's something which has been long overdue. The idea of one world wrestling orginization pretending to be two, and then having multiple world champions, was always mind-numbing stupidity. The fact that WWE has produced less major stars in the past decade than they had in the previous two decades, each, is evidence the idea simply did not work.
One wrestling organization. One world champion.
Next up we need to unify the I.C. and U.S. titles to give us a single midcard champion. All of those guys who were worthy of the joke known as the WHC, but not worthy of the WWE Championship, can compete for it, as well as the Kofi Kingston's of the world. We now have a clearly defined top-tier of talent, and a much more stacked, more defined midcard-to-upper-midcard division.
