If "Edge" was smart (I put it in quotes because I obviously mean the writers), he'd wait until after an incredibly brutal PPV main event (Hell In A Cell?), when both champion and challenger have beat the living hell out of each other, before using the contract.
Say Batista beats HHH at Vengeance (the match that's expected to happen anyway), then immediately afterwards, Edge demands his shot and pins the obliterated champion.
Of course, that would require some strategy.
Honestly, I think they should have given Shelton Benjamin's tournament slot to Muhammad Hassan, even though the Benjamin/HBK match was greatness. We all know the IC Champion isn't going to fight the World Champion, so why even include him?
