I think this is one of those cases where the roster split is really going to work. Back in the day fans yearned for a Hogan/Flair match or Warrior/Sting. But it was impossible at the time because they were in different companies. Now you have Orton and Cena, two men who look like they're going to be the future of the WWE, travelling along parallel career paths, separated by their brands. Orton will be defending the IC belt against Edge, and eventuallty taking on guys like Shelton Benjamin, Shawn Michales, and possibly Triple H. Cena will get a run with Dupree, but move on to bigger feuds with Booker T or the Undertaker. But all along fans will want to see Orton vs Cena.
And I'm not talking about their in-ring credentials. I'm talking about the way the two are being pushed.
And when this match does happen, after a year or year and 1/2, with a tease or two here and there, the reaction is going to be enormous. It's going to be the modern day Warrior/Hogan. The build, the anticipation, the hype....
Cena vs Orton WM22. I'm calling it now.
