What is this all about?

Of course it's just speculation, but with Shawn Michaels retiring, Batista leaving, Triple H taking time off, The Undertaker injured and wanting a reduced schedule, Rey Mysterio waiting to do the same, Chris Jericho getting a new talk show, Edge talking about retirement -- maybe there is just an even more heightened sense that new stars need to be created, so when someone they were looking to push to the moon is out the door (whether he should be or not), there is just that heightened level of stress.

And, I mean, I love him, but Evan Bourne only got like 7% of the vote against Kane and Mark Henry last week just after teaming with the WWE Champion and scoring a pin in the main event. I don't suspect they will punish Bourne for this or anything, but he's a long way from "made" in the fans' eyes, it seems.

Seriously, it would not surprise me to see Wade Barrett take the WWE Title from John Cena as early as Fatal 4 Way, just to "create a new star" and get these NXT guys over like Rover (well, try to get them over, anyway). I also see Triple H returning very soon, and perhaps even *gasp* main event nudges for Christian and MVP.
