As we all know there are two "major" belts in World Wrestling Entertainment. There is the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. There is also the ECW Championship, but we all know that the ECW title is not even close to the other two. Anyways. The two current title holders of these championships are The Straight Edge Superstar, CM Punk and the Kiddies Champ, Mr. You Can't See Me, John Cena.
Over the years there have been times when the World Title has been like the main prize in WWE. There have been time when the WWE title has seemed like that belt. In this article I shall debate which title is worth more at the moment and why. So let's begin.
The Last 5 Reigns
First let's start it by looking at the past 5 WWE and World Title reigns because from those five we shall determine a lot.
WWE Championship
Current Holder is John Cena. He won it at WWE Breaking Point 09 from Randy Orton in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The champion before him was Randy Orton. Randy Orton won it in the Fatal Four Way on Monday Night Raw beating Big Show, John Cena, and Triple H. This match took place in Charlotte.
The reign before Randy was Batista's. It was a very short reign. Batista won the championship at Extreme Rules 09 in New Orleans beating Randy Orton.
The champion before Batista was Randy Orton. This reign for Randy started at Backlash 09 where he and Legacy beat Shane McMahon, Batista and Triple H for Triple H's title. This match took place in Providence.
And finally the reign before Randy's was obviously Triple H's. Triple H won this title at No Way Out 09 beating the Big Show, Edge, Vladmir Kozlov, Jeff Hardy, and the Undertaker in an Elimination Chamber. This match took place in Seattle.
World Heavyweight Championship
The current World Heavyweight Champion is CM Punk. He beat Jeff Hardy at SummerSlam 09 in a TLC Match. This match took place in Los Angeles.
The champion before him was Jeff Hardy. Jeff won the title at Night of Champions 09 beating CM Punk in a one on one match. This match took place in the city of brotherly love, Philidelphia.
The champion before Jeff was CM Punk. CM Punk won the title at Extreme Rules 09 cashing in his Money In The Bank right after Jeff Hardy beat Edge for the title. This took place in New Orleans.
As I mentioned before the champion before Punk was Jeff. He won it on the same night Punk took the title from him. Jeff Hardy beat Edge in a Ladder Match to win the World Title in New Orleans.
Finally the reign before that belonged to the Rated R Superstar, Edge. He beat John Cena at Backlash 09 in a Last Man Standing Match. This match was in Providence.
Look Back
Hmm, Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, Randy Orton, and John Cena were the last five reigns for the WWE Championship. Not bad.
The World Title's last reigns were CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, and Edge. Seems like they traded the title there a few times, still not bad.
Brand and Talent
The debate on the brands will not only be which brand puts on better shows, but which brand has hungry or deserving superstars of the title.
SmackDown(World Title)
Currently the World Heavyweight Championship lives on SmackDown with it's owner being CM Punk. First let's take a short look at the holder, Punk.
CM Punk is a recently pushed superstar. His push started at Extreme Rules 2009 where he cashed in his breifcase for a World Title shot agains Jeff Hardy and won it. From then WWE slowly began CM Punk's great heel turn. He went from being a hated face to being loved to be hated heel. CM Punk's heel character focuses on mocking all the drunks and druggies out there. His heel is a very exciting one and looks like he is now a certified main eventer.
The current No. 1 contender is the phenom, the Undertaker. The Undertaker hasn't looked as good as he was before the injury, but the man is still a great performer. He will meet CM Punk at Hell In A Cell for the World Heavyweight Championship. If I do say so myself having two top stars like these really shows that this belt is a valuable one.
Some other superstars that might get a title shot in the near future include Chris Jericho, Edge, Matt Hardy, John Morrison, and possibly Batista. Now with the exception of Batista that list has some amazing superstars. This shows that the World Title is very valuable.
