10 Best Champion Vs. Champion Matches In WWE History
10. Randy Orton (WWE) Vs. John Cena (World Heavyweight)
At TLC 2013, Randy Orton and John Cena added another chapter to their legendary/boring rivalry.
Both men were top of the food chain on their respective brands. Triple H and The Authority wanted Orton to be the undisputed face of WWE and so made a match to unify both titles.
Orton and Cena closed the show in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match and made full use of the stipulation. They were put through tables, pulled off ladders, and Cena was even handcuffed to the bottom rope, which was ultimately his undoing.
The Viper secured the win by retrieving both belts from atop the ladder, becoming the first ever "WWE World Heavyweight Champion". Why they didn't go for a more unique name rather than a confusing combination of the two previous titles is beyond us, but the point is that Orton won.
This match was very entertaining, one of Orton and Cena's best. It also played into the larger story of Daniel Bryan, who would unseat Randy for the unified title at WrestleMania XXX.
Although, in hindsight, the fact that WWE introduced the Universal Championship two years later kind of undermined the whole point of this match.
It was still fun, though.
