I think its too late to try to run with Orton as a babyface, so I think he should turn heel again.

I think you have Orton retain the title with help from Batista, but not Flair. Batista and Orton hook up with Edge, Christian and Tomko as the new Evolution (I can hear JR going "bawh gawd their stronger than ever!").

HHH goes face, and Flair takes a beating from the new Evolution and is gone for a little while to sell the new Evo as being viscious.

HHH is left by himself. He talks about how over most of career he's relied on other people to do his dirty work, he says that ends right now, he's going to prove to himself, the boys, the fans and everyone else that he can reach the top without any help. That sets up the HHH babyface title chase story, and hopefully this time dogs are not involved in any fashion.

This sets up a bunch of new scenarios:

You have Orton as a heel champion, and he can work programs with guys like HBK, a babyface Kane (I think he's turning relatively soon), Flair, Jericho, Benoit, Rock (if they could get him to work a PPV before Mania) and of course HHH for Mania.

You also have a story where HHH has no friends, because he's been such a strong heel over the past 2 and a half years. You could use that to build something for SurvSer where the new Evolution challenges Hunter to a 5 on 5 match (maybe War Games). But Hunter has no allies, this is where they could bring back Flair as Hunter's only ally, and then you could have an uneasy alliance with guys like HBK, Benoit and Jericho.

This also opens up a series of matches for HHH, such as against Christian, Tomko and Edge. This would give HHH a chance to run through some guys leading to Mania, and they could even save Batista for a World Title program after Wrestlemania.

The new Evolution would be interesting. With Edge and Orton having a great deal of history they could produce some great backstage skits, like Edge and Orton debating whose better between them. Tomko and Batsita would jockey for position as the dominant big man, and so on.

It would be a huge shake up, but I think they need something big, because if they stay the same course there are very few interesting programs that I can see going forward.
