10 Biggest Unification Matches In Wrestling History

6. Randy Orton vs. John Cena - WWE/World Heavyweight Championships

Randy Orton, the professed 'face of the WWE', was being challenged to live up to that billing by Stephanie McMahon and Triple H of The Authority. The Viper had previously overcome the most frustrating of rivalries against Daniel Bryan as the powers that be gave him every chance of success, even though the WWE Universe wanted to see the perennial underdog to go over. By this time, the World Heavyweight Championship had become a secondary title in WWE land and needed scraped, this was despite John Cena winning it against Alberto Del Rio at the previous month's Survivor Series. To do this, WWE rekindled the spirit of Vengeance 2001 and put on a winner takes all tables, ladders and chairs match between two of the company's biggest stars. The winner would be labelled 'Champion of Champions'. The Authority christened the new top title the 'WWE World Heavyweight Championship' earlier at the event. Orton would come out on top after handcuffing Cena to the bottom rope. The leader of the Cenation managed to unhook the bottom rope and climb the ladder only for The Viper to pull him down and through a table, sort of. Randy then climbed the ladder to claim the two belts. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2cisvb_wr-match-of-the-day-randy-orton-vs-john-cena-tlc-match-for-the-both-wwe-and-wh-championships-tlc-20_sport
