With the Edge-Jericho deal they did on RAW, I could see a 3 way for the IC title at SS between Edge, Jerihco and Batista. Maybe its elimination, and you have Batista get DQ'd first, which leaves Edge vs Jericho. Have both guys down, and then Christian runs in, and looks around, both guys get up, and he cracks Jerihco on the head. Edge retains the title, and then looks up at Christian and they embrace. Which would be a guranteed huge pop in Toronto, they would definately have to work over the next few weeks to keep them heels, but I think it can be done if Jeirhco and say Benoit (I would use Benjamin as Jericho's partner at first while Benoit is fueding with Orton) fueded with them and were made to look strong.

In terms of the Evolution break up:

I would have Orton win, and then he starts to act like he's bigger than Flair and HHH. He could show up in a separate car from the other guys. I would love to see them have Evolution show up in a big limo one night without Orton. Then later in the show you have a helicopter land somewhere and out comes Orton with the belt and some ladies. That would make him look really pompass. He could also blow off some Evoltuion planning sessions, because he has "champions business to attend to". This would have to be small subtle things at first and build as time goes on.

One of the key things I would use to keep Orton a heel is the return of HBK. Sometime in Oct, after HBK has beat Kane, I would have HHH come out and say he respects HBK and because of Kane he never got the chance to shake his hand and bury the hatchet between them once and for all. HBK is skeptical but he agrees and they just shake and wlak awya form each other. In the later weeks we could see Orton saying to Batista, for example that he thinks HHH is getting soft.

Then say at SurvSer they do some type of Elimination match and Orton is left with Hunter against two other guys, Orton then decides forget it, and leaves HHH by himself. Hunter beats one of the two guys he's against, but then gets beat by the other guy. The night after SurvSer HHH is pissed and wants an explanation. Orton reveals he's sick of carrying Evolution and especially HHH and says HHH has proven over the past 8 months that he's gone soft. Orton could say while HHH has been getting beat every night, Orton was IC champ for 7 months and then when he did get screwed out of the IC title, he only took one shot to beat the same guy HHH couldn't beat for 8 months. HHH reminds Orton he's an 8 time World Champ and if Orton had any "guts" he'd become the 9 time World Champion right here tonight (pause for pop). Orton would balk at giving him a shot, saying he doesn't deserve it, and finish by saying "Evolution has passed you by". At that point I would have Orton, Batista and maybe Flair (if he stays with the group) beat on HHH, only to have HBK make the save before HHH gets completely destroyed.

That sets up an HBK-HHH reunion, which as Heyman said would likely get over pretty well, especially if they attach DX to it. That way you have strong faces that the fans can get behind, and you know the bookers will to (hard to imagine HHH and hBK beign buried). And in between SurvSer and Mania they can do Orton-HBK as a program to stregthen up Orton.
