It seems to me like they are trying to quickly establish a new wave of main event stars. Finlay & William Regal, probably since they are two of the most reliable veterans in the lockerroom, seem to be playing an upper mid-card heel role as "The Knights of T". Can't fault the WWE for that, hopefully it leads to some sweet matches between London, Kendrick and the Knights. Bobby Lashley was made to seem like a big star on SmackDown!, and like it or not, Mark Henry is building steam.
I have a feeling the WWE Championship will become interpromotional after ECW One Night Stand. RVD wins the belt, throws it down, Sabu has already won the World Heavyweight Championship, John Cena comes out announced as WWE Champion on RAW like nothing ever happened. RVD is officially recognised, though, so Cena is a three-time Champ (I think multiple-time Champions are lacking in the WWE). The Great American Bash looks like this:
-John Cena vs. King Booker for the WWE Championship
-Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. William Regal & Finlay
-Mark Henry vs. Batista
-Rey Mysterio vs. Ken Kennedy
-Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton for the WWE United States Championship
-The Great Khali vs. The Undertaker in one of those Concrete Crypt Matches
-Cruiserweight Clusterfuck for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Putting the World Title on Mark Henry is not a smart move.
