I think Edge will win the World Heavyweight Title at TLC, but if not, it's interesting. I cannot believe they didn't put Edge over Jericho at WrestleMania. That whole thing just didn't make sense, and to be honest, as much as I think both are awesome performers; the Jericho vs. Edge feud was quite a bit of a let-down.

And just to let my feelings on Triple H/Jericho be known, personally, I think the angle sucked. Jericho did the best he could, but emphasis was placed wrongly. You can say that Jericho was "using" Stephanie all you like; it came off the other way round. Also, when you consider the history between Jericho and Triple H, the idea of Jericho and Stephanie being aligned was just...awkward. I understand why they did the Triple H/Stephanie divorce, but it turned the entire angle into a bit of a farce.

The moment Jericho looked the best during his Undisputed Title reign, was an awesome promo he cut on The Rock where he declared himself "not a joke." And a lot of the power of that promo came from everyone looking past Jericho -- which should have never been the case. Chickenshit heel or not; Jericho had just spent the last year and a half being a plucky fan-favourite that could hang with the best. In fact, he even unofficially won the WWE Title from Triple H at one point! Yet none of this was referenced, and it was almost like heel Y2J was essentially an entirely new guy on the roster -- since suddenly we were meant to take him less seriously as an in-ring competitor.

Jericho vs. Triple H just didn't feel like a draw, either. I still think that I would have gone with Rob Van Dam winning the 2002 Royal Rumble (and you have to keep in mind just how over RVD was at this point in time, and that he had been close to the WWE Title on at least one occasion. Triple H would be cost the Rumble win by the nWo, and he, Austin & The Rock could form a three-man team to face them at WrestleMania. Come on, that would have been intense. Nash wasn't even on the card and Scott Hall was just wrestling Stone Cold, in a match that seemed to draw most of its power from both being alcoholics.

With the kayfabe story being that Vince McMahon introduced some poison to the WWE in the nWo, Triple H could still get divorced from Stephanie and she could begin some weird sort of relationship with the nWo.
