Championship Unification Match

From Iwe

Championship unification is the act of combining two or more separate professional wrestling championships into a single title.

History

In professional wrestling, championships may be unified to consolidate the number of championships in a given promotion, or to add legitimacy and prestige to a certain title's lineage. In a title-for-title match, one of four things will happen:

• The lesser championship will be dropped.

• A brand new championship will be created (very rare, but AJPW's Triple Crown and Double Cup titles are prominent examples).

• Both championships retain their identity and may be defended and lost individually.

• Both championships will be remain active and be defended and lost together under one name, but title changes will reflect each individual title's history.
