I was personally hoping to see Orlando Jordan keep a hold on the WWE United States Championship until JBL lost to Batista. Then JBL could have asked Orlando to present him with the US Title, which he would preclaim is the most prestigious title on SmackDown!. OJ refuses to part with the US Title, JBL tells Orlando that if he wants to keep his job on The Cabinet, he will forfeit that belt to him. Orlando smacks JBL in the chops, and we have ourselves a freshly turned face Orlando Jordan.
But yeah, I can't see that happening now. I think Jordan will be pissed off on SmackDown! and will go about 10 minutes with Benoit before giving up or being pinned when he won't give up. It would do the kid wonders if Benoit put him over after the match and said that Orlando may have lost toe him quickly twice, but he did beat him at The Great American Bash, and he did go toe-to-toe on the first ever FNS. Benoit offers Orlando his hand, and Jordan refuses, or he accepts. Either way, you have tension with JBL start to build.
