Who Would You Rather Have Unify The Mid-card Championships: Daniel Bryan or John Cena?

Now that Daniel Bryan is the Intercontinental Champion and John Cena is the United States Champion, some people have put forth the idea of having a match between the two at some point (possibly SummerSlam this year or WrestleMania 32), and having the winner unify the two titles.

Obviously that's just fan speculation at this point since I haven't seen or read anything to suggest WWE will go at direction. However, let's just say that they do. Who of the two would you pick to unify the titles? Daniel Bryan or John Cena?

What happens when they unify the titles. What do we get from that? A new "world" title?

And, to be fair, either guy would be fine to unify the titles. I'd go with Bryan because biased, but Cena would do the job fine.

To me, this scenario works better:

1) Since Ambrose lost against Cena for the IC on RAW, he would win against Bryan for the IC in June or july.

2) Ambrose vs. Cena to unify the both titles at Summerslam. Ambrose retires the US title and the new IC champ defeating Cena.

3) At / by Summerslam, Bryan would go against Sheamus or Lesnar.

Nope. Terrible. Ambrose isn't worthy of beating Bryan for the IC Title, that does nothing but devalue the title and push Bryan down the card. He can fight Sheamus for the IC Title and Lesnar won't be fighting anybody but Rollins at Summerslam.

Ambrose can go back to jobbing to Wyatt for all I care.

Cena because it would mean he would be feuding for a midcard title and be kept away from the main title picture

I really don't mind who ends up being the unified mid-card champion but if I had to choose one I'd go with Cena although they would obviously be keeping the IC Championship and it's lineage.

Daniel Bryan of course. Cena's gimmick is so old and stale that the only thing I'm interested in seeing him do is the heel turn that won't happen.

Because people like to speculate :)

The unifying talk has been going on for few years now. I personally dont see it happen. People speculated they get unified at mania, didn't happen. Now they bring up maybe they get unified at Summerslam. But here's a question, why should they?

Why not have two midcard titles booked well instead? Right now they are held by two people who definitely will have storylines around them, which means around the title too.

Anyone think there's too much speculation at times?

I though unifying the belts was the way to go but at mania both titles felt important so why unify them. Soon the likea o zayn,balor,owens,itami etc will be up. You need both. Unifying the belts would just make it a lesser worldtitle. Let the ic title be the workhorse title where they get long matches on ppv with the best workers. Let the us title be a stepping stone title for those that are future maineventers but not there yet.

I would throw Daniel Bryan a bone here. He will never be a 15 time world champion like John Cena. So sure, let Bryan beat Cena one more time. As long as it's another good match and a MOTY contender, that's all I care about!

I'm thinking about going to SummerSlam. If Cena/Bryan was on the card, I'd definitely pay money to see that!

If you can have both belts feel important then there is absolutely no reason to unify them.

Roster has enough depth for this and with guys like Neville and others from NXT being called up this year the mid card scene could be really stacked.

Guys like Cena, Rusev, Bryan, Sheamus, Ambrose, Ryback and Reigns can always rotate between these titles and working with the midcard and being involved in World title angles too.

I'd rather there be no unification. Have you not seen what unifying the WWE and World Heavyweight championship has done? It's a disaster because we have to depend on one person and if that person gets hurt, then we have to wait around for them to strip him, hold a contest, and crown a new champion. I'd rather not do that.

Besides, the Intercontinental and United States Championships are at different levels in terms of who gets them. The IC championship is for those who have both been around a while and have strong work ethics in the ring. The US championship is for those who are either new or need a brand new start. You kinda don't necessarily have to be a fucking amazing wrestler to get the US title, but you sure as fuck have to be a good wrestler for the IC belt. It's weird.

Anyway, if I had to choose, it would obviously be Daniel Bryan. I like Cena, but Cena's not IC material. The guy hasn't even won the IC belt, so why should he be allowed to unify?

Ah shit, just for that, Cena would probably win a unification match, just to make sure he won every accolade possible.

But I'd want Bryan to win, of course. Would it go that the loser's belt is merged into the winner's? In that case, you could see a Bryan win, because WWE would keep the IC over the US, it's "their" title.

Best case scenario- keep the belts separate, they appear on both shows, but Bryan gets more focus on Smackdown, Cena gets it on Raw.

Gee I wonder who will win this poll :cena5

I'd rather they didn't unify them. Unifying the belts isn't going to resolve the terrible creative decisions and will simply reduce the amount of opportunities for other wrestlers. The main event scene has become completely stale since the belts were unified.
