5 reasons why WWE shouldn't unify the men's titles 

#3 Leaves only one main title picture

Will the Universal title be retired or the WWE title?

If WWE only has one title picture, what does it mean for the handful of superstars that were chasing the other one? Do they just get inserted into the new title picture immediately or will only one brand have shots at the titles going forward? Beyond that, this severely limits the opportunities for countless superstars across WWE, which is another big problem.

In all honesty, it wouldn't be such a bad idea if WWE had clearly defined guidelines for how this would happen, but they haven't done any of that. Furthermore, they have a Superstar Shake-up just around the corner and one has to wonder if there will be any meaning to it with the possibility of a double champion in the future.

More on that later, but eliminating a title picture is not going to solve WWE's problems. In fact, WWE did an amazing job of managing both title pictures in the past couple of years, and while both titles had their missteps along the way, it still doesn't justify the elimination of one of the belts.
