Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, Cesaro will join Orton, Cena, Bryan, Batista, Lesnar, Punk?, HHH? in the main event. Way too much talent.

I believe that WWE did the whole unifying angle with the long term goal to rebuild the World Heavyweight title. We will have two world titles around Summerslam. Do you agree?

Or they could actually make the Intercontinental title important again. The WHC was basically a glorified IC Title after the brand split ended anyway.

 

[RabbiVon]

I'd be okay with that

I was expecting the big gold belt to stay until WM. But after i saw Bryan with both belts on RAW, i'm almost sure that they will reinstate the WHC. It doesn't make sense for Bryan to keep both titles.

I hope so. You can't get rid of the World Heavyweight Championship belt, it's a beauty!

I think it gives more for the upper-mid card players something to fight for, as someone like Sheamus or Del Rio (both people I don't really care for) will never really be good enough or liked enough to be pushed for the main prize.

When it was originally two belts, it was thanks to the Brand Split, it was essentially "Raw belt" and "Smackdown belt," but at the time, the rosters were so strong, both meant something. Could they do that again? There's a lot of talent in NXT to fill the voids.

I would like to see it, not sure how they would do it.

i think having it unified is better with so much talent

here me out...

you like a guy at the top, for example bray, then how happy would you be if HE is the champ out of all the talent fighting for it?

Stephanie Mcmahon said in an interview that they won't get back the brand split. At least not unitl the WWE network breaks even (over 1 million buys).

Well if you like Bray and Roman (for example), one will always have take a back seat to the other. If you have two world titles you can see: Bray vs Orton/Bryan for the WWE title and Reigns vs Cena for the WHC... not bad.

Exactly, it's better when there's just ONE big belt that everybody's going for. I always found myself rolling my eyes when guys who clearly aren't top shelf superstars were still being listed as "multi-time" world champions because they won what was, for all intents and purposes, a B-level title. One world title raises the bar of kayfabe competition.

 

[RW&B Ropes]

I hope they unify them and introduce a variation of the eagle belt as the main title. Since they seem to be catering to the older audience a little bit more these days. Incorporate the new logo to make it feel fresh and new and retire the WCW belt. I never liked it.

Then, like others have suggested, elevate the IC title again. That belt used to really mean something. Give it to Cena, or Bray, or somebody like Roman Reigns and create some interesting angles around it. That would be awesome, and would make a lot more sense than splitting the titles again, so shortly after they unified them. Especially when you still have the US title lingering without ever being defended. How many belts do we need?

 

[dxbender]

If anything, they should unify the IC/US title. IC title then becomes the 2nd biggest division.

Nah, the WHC was WWE compensating for the influx of Superstars post the WCW Invasion of 2001. They didn't want to ought right eliminate the belt after the Invasion period ended so they renamed it and continued using it during the brand extension. Now that pro-wrestling as a whole has shrunk, talent shrunk, viewership shrunk (no thanks to politics and the monopoly that is the WWE), Smackdown which use to be able to stand on its own is now almost video highlight replay/after RAW extended show.

It appears like there's too many belts when in actuality WWE is not putting enough emphasis behind any of their belts. With title holders being put in tag and 3 on 3 matches instead of 1 on 1 matches defending their belts.

 

[BRITLAND]

I honestly don't understand why you would want two World Titles? You have to be seriously deluded to think it's better

 

[RW&B Ropes]

Well if you like Bray and Roman (for example), one will always have take a back seat to the other. If you have two world titles you can see: Bray vs Orton/Bryan for the WWE title and Reigns vs Cena for the WHC... not bad.

No.. they've already done that and it sucked. It just made me feel unsatisfied when guys like Bryan and Ziggler won it. Everyone knew that belt meant about half as much as the WWE title. So it was pointless. Having one elite title makes winning it seem epic.

Again.. use the IC belt as the belt below the heavyweight championship. And use the US title as the rung below that one. That's tradition, that's what helps create stars, and that's the way it should be. If you have two major titles, the WCW belt automatically becomes the lesser of the two and seems much less significant, and the other two titles become almost non-existent. It really puts a damper on things IMO.

 

[TJQ]

I wasn't a huge fan of them putting the titles together, I feel like they're still not sure if they want to keep them unified because they still have the champ carrying 2 belts. I think the better option would be to not be lazy and book the WHC/IC titles correctly.

 

[Issues_Sunshyne]

WWE have a whole load of Intercontinental champions who don't get used properly because they're not world champions.

That's not putting anybody down either. It just feels like there are guys above the IC/US title but will be nowhere near the world title again for a long time. Only a handful of people can legitimately be WWE champion tomorrow unless it was out of the blue, and that's Orton/Cena/Batista/Bryan/Lesnar, currently it's fine because The Shield and Bray Wyatt are involved heavily, as is Cesaro, but it's like they will push someone, if they don't connect at that level they want then they get forgotten about. It happens a lot more than we even notice I would say.

I think 2 world titles are daft, you shouldn't have 2 WORLD champions in one promotion unless they're duking it out, but if they used their other belts with massive history correctly, it would give a lot of guys something to go for. You could have a world title match, IC title match, US title and tag title matches all as a back bone of each show and it just helps the booking I would feel.

I was never a fan of the brand split, but now I don't think it would be that bad of an idea.

 

[Gunner14]

Splitting world titles can be Authoritys next way to try to get the belts of Bryan. Make him defend both seperatly till he loses them. If he loses one to Brock Lesner it also stops the cluster as he will probably still only wrestle on the A PPVS

 

[Darkness is here]

Wow op we think ALOT ALIKE you saved the trouble of making this thread, thnx.

On topic: I think you have probably 9-10 MEers by next year, so it would be REALLY difficult for vince to decide who he wants the belt on, so maybe it will be split again or they can elevate the ic title in an instant by giving cena a 3-4 month reign.

 

[Bret Hart]

What the fuck is the point of the Intercontinental Title, WHY THE FUCK would you have TWO Main Champions for One Fucking Show?

The brand split really fucked with all of your minds, the whole point of the two titles and two shows was because of the amount of talent that the WWE had, right now there aren't that many. Cesaro, Reigns, Wyatt, Orton, Batista, Bryan, Cena. Having one MAIN title makes it more meaningful than having two.

Have the IC title as your secondary title, thats what the fucking title is suppose to be for.

 

[Bret Hart]

Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Batista, Kane, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Undertaker, Booker T, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Big Show, Edge, Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN, Scott Hall, Rob Van Dam etc

No fucking shit they were going to have Two Titles and Two Shows.

Who the fuck do you have now? Their main objective should be using the IC title as the Secondary title.

Reigns, Cesaro, Bryan, Cena, Bryan, Bray Wyatt and Batista. Those are the people you named in the OP that actually have a chance to win the title, HHH, Lesnar, and Punk are not going to be getting the title. HHH won't get it, Lesnar doesn't stay long enough and Punk is gone.

You're retarded ass is saying to have two MAIN CHAMPIONSHIPS, just so Reigns can hold it and face off against Ziggler? and than for Bryan to hold it and then defend it against Batista?

Thats fucking hilarious, Reigns should be defending the IC title not the fucking WWE Title.

Fucking idiot, Brand Extension and the two titles have fucked with all of your minds.
