I like that idea, and it could play out extremly well if the WWE did it right. I have an idea like this played out in my head, though (assuming Cena doesn't win the WWE Championship):
At WrestleMania, Paul London challenges Chavo Guerrero for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Chavo wins the match after a maskd man runs in and hits Paul London with the CW belt.
Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio have a match where the winner can choose his new partner to carry on with the WWE Tag Team Championship. Eddie Guerrero wins when a masked man runs in and hits Rey Mysterio over the head with a tag team belt. It's become obvious that Eddie & Chavo Guerrero are helping each other keep hold of their titles, with the liekyl possibility that Los Guerreros will become the new WWE Tag Team Champions, and the only team to win the title three times.
Orlando Jordan defends the WWE United States Championship against Booker T, but the match ends prematurely when OJ hits BT with the US belt in front of the ref and gets DQ'd. That's a lot of belt hitting, but it all serves a purpose with Eddie & Chavo vs. Rey & London and Orlando Jordan vs. Booker T being furthered this way.
JBL retains against Cena somehow, and the next night we have The Cabinet in the ring (JBL, OJ, BB). Booker T runs down, gets his ass handed to him, but Cena aids him. The numbers are still too great, and Paul London and Re Mysterio run down to give Cena and Booker T a hand. The faces clean hosue and we have an eight-man tag confirmed for later that night.
We have an Eddie Guerrero promo where he confirms his new WWE Tag Team Title reign will be with his nephew, and the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero.
In the eight-man tag team match, John Cena pins JBL and we are fed to believe that Cena just may end JBL's World Championship reign soon.
Vince McMahon makes an announcement that all the cruiserweights (220lbs or under) or women with wrestling training can now move to the brand where their respective championship is. The Hurricane, Tajiri & Simon Dean head over from RAW to SmackDown! while Miss Jackie, Michelle McCool and Dawn Marie head over to RAW (I know they're not exactly wrestlers, but the womens division is seperate).
Kurt Angle, currently pleased with his protege's mid-card victories, searches for a tag team partner for Mark Jindrak. He decided Charlie Haas is that man, and we have yet another form of Team Angle. Luther Reigns pissed off Kurt Angle left him, joins up with a man who's currently pissed of Charlie Haas left him, Hardcore Holly.
The Undertaker and The Big Show have some problems after Mania, and the two set up a program for Judgment Day. The final JD card would look something like this:

Then we follow through with the following card at The Great American Bash:

Granted, they're not the best cards, but I think they would make some interesting storylines.
