For some reason, I see Edge defending the WWE Championship successfully against Ric Flair on RAW next week. Maybe even have the IC Title on the line so Edge can be a six-time Champion, and it can then be vacated and held up in a tournament which stretches until WrestleMania?
I think John Cena will win the WWE Championship at the Rumble, while Triple H wins the Rumble (which will honestly feel like a waste to me, but still) and we'll get Cena vs. Triple H at WrestleMania. I hope the crowd shits on it. I would much rather see Cena vs. Triple H on the first edition of SNME, even with no title on the line.
I don't see why the WWE sees this as the money match. Triple H has been beaten a lot in the past, and him main eventing another WrestleMania seems redundant. Have him cost Cena the title match, because he wants to face Edge, and have Cena cost Triple H the Royal Rumble. Sets up the feud nicely, and doesn't involve the WWE Championship.
I'm liking the idea of Edge being WWE Champion heading into WrestleMania more and more everyday. Edge vs. RVD and Edge vs. HBK are looking like great main events to me. They could even get a ladder involved. I would even like to see them go with another Fatal Fourway. Edge vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle. There are a lot of interesting match-ups with come of Edge lasting as Champion until at least Mania.
