The WWE May Unify The US and Intercontinental Championships

The WWE may unify the US and Intercontinental Championships. In a new report, the company teases a unification of both mid-card titles, and both Intercontinental Champion Big E. Langston, and United States Champion Dean Ambrose seem to be high on the idea.

The article featured on WWE’s official website  states that the two championships are the only remaining “mirroring” titles in the WWE today. The Divas and WWE Women’s Championships were merged into one title in 2010, as were the World Tag Team and WWE Tag Team Championships. With the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships being unified on December 15th at “WWE TLC,” the two mid-card titles seem to be the last piece of the “championship streamlining process” puzzle for the company.

When asked if the two titles should be unified, Langston and Ambrose said,

“I’d be open to it. If it strengthens the legitimacy of both titles, then I’m all for it.” – Langston

“It’d be a good thing as long as they made one good looking championship for me to haul around, because I’d definitely be the one holding it.” – Ambrose

When asked if the unified championship should have a new title belt in place of either the IC or US titles, the current champions said,

“Instead of me lugging around both titles, yeah. The Intercontinental Title has always been referred to as the “workhorse title,” because it was defended more frequently and more feverishly. Right now, I look at the United States Championship that way. I’ve defended that thing on four continents and more countries than I can remember. I take a lot of pride in that.” – Ambrose

“I wouldn’t say so. I think the Intercontinental Title has so much prestige that I would hate for it to go away. If anything, I think it could absorb the U.S. Title. The Intercontinental Championship should always be around in WWE. It’s very historic, and I don’t think we should lose that history.” – Langston
