I get where you're coming from on this, and I agree that Eddie needs to re-establish himself.
This takes nothing away from the fantastic job he did against JBL, as he carried that on his own, but it's people's perceptions that need lifted.

There are 2 ways this can be done.
1. Feud with an established main-evented
2. Feud with someone to an incredible standard.

Option 1 is what you suggested earlier, but after Eddie feuds with Taker, then there's nowhere left to go.
I would be inclined to go with Option 2 with the RVD Feud.

I posted extensively on this in an earlier thread and here's what I said:




The idea of RVD turning heel is mouth-watering stuff, but we always run the risk of WWE watering it down.

I'd love to see a rerun of the matches that Eddie and RVD had a few years back, but I'd also like to see Angle involved in it somehow.
If Angle can wrestle or not is irrelevant. That guy is golden on the mic and can use that to get them both over even more.

Here's how I would love to see it start:
RVD and Eddie are still faces and are having a feud over who has the best frogsplash - spectacular matches, great fun.

As a sideline to this, Eddie and RVD are competing all over the place, every opportunity. Basically in the sideline they are trying to out-do each other in every way, including playing practical jokes on other wrestlers in the locker-room. Basically this goes on for a while, much hilarity ensues, and lifts the 'face' image of both.
Angle calls them both into his office, gives them a bollocking for turning Torrie green or something, and then they both start competing to get Angle with practical jokes, and all the while, they have absolute stand-out matches.
Winner helps the loser to his feet, handshakes after matches, etc, two great faces showing friendship and respect for each other.
Angle keeps getting punk'd by them and the viewing would be fantastic! It would totally lift Smackdown, and Angle would add so much comedy to Eddie and RVD and elevate the status of RVD back to as high as he has ever been.

Then the twist.....
Eddie & RVD do something that really pisses Angle off, so he puts them into a steel cage match.
Eddie & RVD go at it, and just when it looks like Eddie is gonna win, the Dudleys jump out, batter the crap out of him, and 'HEEL' RVD strolls out of the cage with the title.
The fans would be going ballistic, because RVD has turned at the height of his popularity and turned his back on Eddie and the fans.

This is when RVD is the Whole F'n Show!
This is when RVD just oozes arrogance, cockiness, and shows it too!

Plus it might even make Smackdown a watchable show for a while!

That's what I want to see for the next title challenger after the GAB, assuming that they don't give the belt to Bradshit.
