Raw: The Next Two Months

[ColdwaVer]

So at this point we have two months until Raw, which reportedly will be two HHH-free months. Well kiddies, what to do?

First off, I think they need to have a Benoit/Edge feud. Keep your pants on, Edge marks, this feud will not give Edge the title, rather it will test his ability to hold his own in the main event scene. Here's how I suggest it goes down:

Next Raw, have a #1 contender 4-way match for the World Title. Participants: Edge, Jericho, HBK, and Benjamin. Amidst a clusterfuck ending, have Orton take out Edge, leading to a match between the two opposite the SD PPV. In this match, Batista and Flair interfere, which brings out Benoit to his partner's aid. Benoit however accidentally costs Edge the match, building friction between them. The next week, amidst a storm of heat between them, they lose the Tag Titles to Conway and Grenier. This sets up a title match between them at Bad Blood.

Back to the #1 contender's match. As Edge is taken out, Benjamin tears after Orton, leaving Jericho to score a win over HBK. This sets Benjamin on course for Orton once the Orton/Edge feud wears out, leading Benjamin to become IC champ at Bad Blood. Jericho goes on to lose his title match on the Raw following Judgment Day, due to interference from the newly heel-turned HBK. HBK does not join Evolution, mind you, but goes on to feud with Jericho, culminating in an outstanding spectacle at Bad Blood where Jericho
gets the win.

As far as the Women's Division, I like what they've done lately with building up secondary heat between the ladies. At Bad Blood I think they should try something a bit daring and have two women's matches on the card. Firstly have Victoria go up against Gail Kim, dropping the title to her, and then have Molly vs Lita. See how the crowd responds. If the ladies can perform well, things should go nicely.

Additionally, now that Christian has an enforcer and a girlfriend, I think he needs a new feud. I submit Matt Hardy. The guy is definitely overdue for, if not a real push, something other than squashes. Set up Christian vs Matt, and interject Tomko into the deal somehow. Since A-Train has been doing (mercifully) nothing on Raw, maybe they could try another heel turn and have Hardy take him on as a new MF-er, or at least a bodyguard of some sort.

And I have no idea what to do with Kane at this point.

This leads to the following Bad Blood card:
Edge vs Benoit
Benjamin vs Orton
Victoria vs Gail Kim
Jericho vs HBK
Tag Title Match (probably La Resistance vs Hurricane and Rosey
Lita vs Molly
Matt Hardy vs Christian
Something with Kane
