About the argument concerning the WWE/World Tag Team Championship & Unified WWE Tag Team Championship...

After Chris Jericho won both the (WCW) World Heavyweight Championship & WWE Championship, he became the first WWE Undisputed Champion, even though he still carried both belts. Even though both belts weren't considered retired, they were considered ONE championship from that point on, until they were split up into the World Heavyweight & WWE Championships we have now. The current situation with the WWE Tag Team Championship & World Tag Team Championship is the same. The Colons are considered the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, even though they still carry both sets of tag titles. Even though both sets aren't retired, they are considered ONE championship, the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. So there, WWE has set a precedent for how their championships are viewed. If you're still unsure of what to do, then hold a poll and ask what should be done with the tag titles. 24.12.89.226 (talk) 02:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First you are in correct. The WWF and WCW Titles were unified yes. But they were never broken up. The World Heavyweight Championship is not the WCW Championship. It is an entirely new championship. It just has the big gold belt design, which has been used by multiple championships. For now, they just hold both belts, which means neither are retired yet. So for now, we should continue with both on the page until one disappears or a new championship is debuted.--WillC 02:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, like Will stated. The current World Heavyweight Championship (WWE) is not the same title as the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Until one of the WWE Tag Team Championships is retired officially by WWE, which we would know by now because of WWE.com's title histories, then we will denote it as such but for now WWE.com has both titles still active.--Tru co ₅₀₃ 03:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Allow me to explain this better

First and foremost on the Jericho point, yes Chris Jericho won the WCW Championship and then went on to win the WWE Championship. Following this, the WCW Championship was unified with the WWE Championship. However, with unification matches, the result of the match can spawn two different outcomes. One outcome results in one of the championships being decommissioned with the champion choosing to hold a single championship (...as was the case with the WCW U.S. and WWE IC unification match at Survivor Series 2001, where Edge chose the IC championship.) The second outcome results in the champion choosing to hold both championships (...as was the case with the WCW Cruiserweight and WWF Lightheavyweight unification match on July 30, 2001, where Xpac continued to defend the two titles both simultaneously and separately.)

With the Undisputed Championship, the WCW Championship was decommissioned and since it hasn't been reactivated, in theory, it is still merged with the WWE Championship. WWE Undisputed Championship wasn't "split" to create the World Heavyweight Championship. Unless the WWE Undisputed Championship was split back into the WCW Championship and WWE Championship, the WWE Undisputed Championship wasn't split. The World Heavyweight Championship spun-off from the WWE Undisputed Championship just as the WWE, ECW, and WCW Championships spun-off from the NWA Championship. It is for this reason that the World Heavyweight Championship is connected and related to the WCW, WWE, and NWA Championships; because it was created from the WWE Championship, which contains the WCW Championship, which was created from the NWA Championship.

So with the WCW Championship decommissioned and still merged with the WWE Championship, it is obvious that the first outcome from the two listed above took place. Now with The Colóns and the situation with Unified Tag Team Championships, it is unfortunately still too early to tell which of the two outcomes listed above will take place. As both title histories on WWE.com still list The Colóns as current champions for both the World Tag Team and WWE Tag Team Championhip without making use of the words "Final Champions" on either page, there is no evidence pointing towards either of the two possible outcomes. It is too early to tell which of the two championships will be decommissioned or whether both titles will continue to be active. It is for that reason that nothing has been done about the Unified Tag Team Championships on the subject's related articles.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 03:18, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
