.....Sounds like it clarifies a lot. Up on WWE.com. Mentions one undisputed WWE champion.

Doesn't mean there wont be a screwy finish....but it is the first time (that I recall) that they've explicitly mentioned one champion.

One thing you can count on: They'll treat this undisputed champ like the first ever.

HHH made it clear he wants one champion after that match. He even stated that it's useless for there to be two champions with brand extension terminated. Which means they're still making him meta. If there's one part of this angle nobody can dispute being awesome, it's these interviews. Cole and Hunter have knocked each one out of the park.

So, it is going to be an undisputed championship then. Leaves me with lots of questions. For the match itself, how many of the 15 people in the storyline are going to interfere in it? What's the over/under because I'm thinking no fewer than 8 people get involved.
Also, who do you have go over, since a non-finish in a ladder match is tough to pull off. Cena goes over? On a throw away PPV? Kinda would kill the angle dead since we're back to a face with no heels to challenge him. Orton wins? Then what does he do until Mania since thats' where this is gong to resolve? Go back to feuding with Cena, or D-Bry, or Big Show, or, I dunno, Brad Maddox in the Max Moon getup?
I will admit that the thought of a non-finish in a ladder match, beyond "each guy grabs one of the belts" does intrigue me. Honestly, it's a more interesting option than either Orton or Cena winning.

Trips called us internet geeks who hang on CM Punk's every word. I resent that!
I hang on Great Khali's every word, the ones I can understand at least, thank you very much.

With this news, here's hoping for a new championship belt.

Well, he says that having one champion is 'the goal' and what 'he wants.' Call me a nerd, but to me that still leaves room for them to book something where there are still two champions. I just don't trust WWE after all these PPVs with screwy finishes.
He didn't say, "There will be ONE Champion.' He said that was the goal and that it was what he wants. To me, phrasing it this way still leaves open the door that they could switch the titles or they both retain the title they had. Then after the fact Triple H could say, "I had HOPED that there would be one unified champion, but I could not have forseen what happened at TLC."

maybe they make the customizable plates on the new WWE belt into mini World Title plates?

Something I just though, and can't remember. Did the ever absorb ECW's lineage as well? Or is it not considered a "real" world title by the WWE?

Rob Van Dam was the WWE Champion and ECW Champion at the same time, but he lost both titles separately. The ECW Championship never got unified with either of the other world championships. If I recall, Ezekiel Jackson was the last ECW Champion and the title was retired when the ECW TV show became NXT.

They've invested too much into that new WWE belt. Whatever happens the big gold is being retired.

Or the title could have two belts. The champion would hate carrying that through airport security, though.
