There has been speculation that WWE might have retired the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw tonight, as John Cena handed the belt to Ric Flair, told him to keep it, and Flair left the ring with it.

Later in the night, JBL made reference to there being “only one title” now, however it was not officially announced that the title would not be used going forward.

Only a matter of time, really.

My guess is that hopefully its gone forever.

I think plenty of people saw this coming.

I say when John Cena finally hits the 17th World Title reign (you know he's going to get it) they should retire the World Heavyweight Championship by giving it to Flair as a consolation prize.

Several fans have sent in word that WWE has removed the “Big Gold Belt” from the Champions section of WWE.com. Before, both championship belts were pictured underneath John Cena’s photo, but now only the WWE Title is present, and the World Title has been removed.
