I think he would have had consideration, at least. It's not like the WWE had not intentions of ever using Rey Mysterio as a main event guy. Eddie Guerrero spent a good half of 2005 putting Rey over in matches, in an an attempt to prime him for main event status.

If I remember correctly, people were talking for years about how Rey Mysterio was one day going to get a run at the top. It's just the circumstances surrounding Rey's initial push cloud that a little. I'm not sure if it would have been in early 2006; but Rey Mysterio would have eventually gotten a push to the World Heavyweight Title.
