Randy Orton Vs. John Cena: Time To Unify The Titles?

I raised the question last week about whether Survivor Series would end with Randy Orton's match or John Cena's match. The main event went to Randy Orton, but the closing image of the PPV went to both Randy Orton and John Cena.

These two will face each other at TLC with both titles hanging on the line. Is it time to unify the two World titles? First, is this the time of year to do such a thing? I always felt something like this is worthy of Wrestlemania. I know Chris Jericho didn't become Undisputed Champion at Wrestlemania and did indeed do it in December. Seeing as how December has been really bad for the WWE in recent years, this might be a great idea to actually cause buzz. I won't blame them for what they are doing.

Is this the time in general to unify the titles? People have been talking about it for years. The tag titles are unified. The women's titles are unified. I have seen other titles retired over the years. Time to unify the World Championships? It would seem like a good idea. The brand split is dead. However, the good thing about having two titles is that it gives other main-eventers something to fight for while the centerpiece is holding onto one of the titles. How much more complaining will Cena haters do when there is only one World title and John Cena is dominating that scene? Personally, I would like to see them keep two titles and utilize both well. I don't like the World's Heavyweight Championship losing proper focus on Smackdown. However, it just might not be practical to have the two titles around.

Just keep in mind, the WWE does not have to unify the titles. Fans are already speculating on what interesting outcomes could happen. Cena takes down one title and Randy Orton takes down the other. No clear winner. It might be too soon to anticipate a swerve. I'll wait to see how the WWE develops things further.
