The only guy I could see being added to the Batista-HHH match without ruining it is Orton.

I think its easy enough to put Edge in another program where he gets to go over and look strong. Then after Mania, with a face champ in Batista, Edge can be set up as the next World Title contender.

I assumed they'd hold off HBK-Edge for Mania. It would have been easy enough because there is no February PPV for RAW, and they could just have a simple interaction at the Rumble to continue their fued. Then blow it off at Mania.

Of course they could always have a no decision at the Rumble, and then have another match at Mania, maybe some type of gimmick match. A Ladder match would make the most sense, but then neither guy has a title, so that might take some creative thinking. Maybe a Loser Leaves RAW Ladder Match. That would be a good way to get HBK on SD, and give them a fresh face, while giving Edge a somewhat meaningful win.

If they dont go with HBK for Edge, they could always turn to Foley. We all know Foley is always willing to put over people, and I know he actually likes Edge, so that would be a sensible program. Foley would definately make Edge seem like a legit main eventer.

But no, Edge doesn't need to headline Mania, mainly because of the quality of the Batista-HHH build. I just hate the idea of anything screwing that up.
