I would say there is a pretty good chance that Edge could be winning the World Title in August. I keep hearing that Summerslam is going to be in Toronto, thats Edge's hometown, so it would make sense. Plus, he's also got a book coming out in the Fall so it would make more sense to have him be world champ while he's getting all that publicity for his book.
I think we all know Hunter is getting the title back from Benoit, its just a matter of 'when is it going to happen'. As far as I know there isn't a specific plan in place for when Hunter gets the title back, but its definate he will get it back soon. After Benoit faces HBK, if they keep that as the match for Bakclash, he really doesn't have anyone other than HHH that he can do a PPV match with. That would mean we could see HHH vs Benoit in June for the next RAW PPV (after Backlash), which would be where HHH gets the title back. I believe July is also a RAW PPV, so maybe there they could finally blow off the HHH-HBK feud, and then go to HHH-Edge for August.
Of course all this planning is all dependent on when Hunter is doing filming for the WWE Films project and whether or not that will interfere with his appearances on RAW. Ive heard everything from Spring to Fall when the taping is supposed to take place.
If they go with Edge at Summerslam, I would guess he would get a short reign, and then they could have Hunter win back the title. He could turn face via a break up with Orton, and that would lead to Orton-HHH for Mania, where perhaps Orton gets the title. But obviously thats not a guarantee.
