Oh, and let's not forget his personal demonds. I believe he is over all that, and has come out of it a stronger person, but WWE wouldn't necessarily believe that.

How about Brock Lesnar if/when he comes back? He could still improve his mic skills, but other than that he is the total package. Obviously walking out on WWE could be held against him, but I see no other reason why it shouldn't happen.

Oh, and Edge, Shelton and Carlito are all strong possibilities, and the level of their pushes suggests this could well happen.

Why would they build the company around someone who stabbed them in the back?That wouldn't set a very good example.(i'm talking about brock)

But thanks for reminding me about Eddie, totally forgot about all that.Edge/shelton and carlito would not be good choices.

I would chose Cena or Jericho.None of them would get the company built around them though because HHH hates both of them, cena may have a chance, but it depends on what HHH thinks...

As I said, they could hold the whole last year and a half against Brock, and they probably would! I just named him as a possibility because that is the only thing that stands in his way if he comes back.
If you think about it, most of the guys mentioned have something standing in their way:

Jericho: Possibly too small, and would take a lot of work for marks to find him credible, outside talent

Guerrero: Possibly too small, possibility WWE views him as indirectly responsible for ratings decline while WWE Champion, didn't like the pressure of being on top, problems in past could also be a negative in eyes of management, outsude talent

Benoit: Possibly too small, lacks promo skills, outside talent

Angle: Injuries will catch up with him at some point in the near future

Christian: Possibly too small

Cena: Long-term appeal is questionable, weak in-ring skills

JBL: Weak in-ring skills

Orton: Seems to be injury prone

Shelton: Possibly too small, lack of promo skills, is black(not me being racist by the way, am merely voicing a possibility that WWE may not want a black guy on top)

Edge: Actually, surprisingly, I can't see much wrong with him except that he can't be trusted with other guy's girlfriends.

Carlito: Needs more in-ring experience

Batista: Weak in-ring skills, weak promo skills

HBK: Getting too old

RVD: Possibly too small, stiff in-ring style

Hassan: Bad press from last angle, new gimmick will be overshadowed by old gimmick, possibly too small

I have listed everyone who I consider to be current or future main-eventers who could be the "top guy", and obviously things that may stop them from getting pushed. I myself was surprised that I couldn't really fault Edge, of all people, but if you think about it, he is pretty good in the ring, his promo skills are decent, and he has maintained credibility and gotten heat from the crowd(albeit mostly through his questionable antics). It could be worse! I wouldn't choose him myself though, although I would like to see him as a main-eventer.
