Will Edge ever be anything more than a 'placeholder' champion?

In my opinion, the BIGGEST thing that the WWE has going for them, is how the fans react to John Cena when he faces high profile opponents in big match atmospheres.

Think about it:

-Wrestlemania 22: John Cena vs. Triple H
-ECW One Night Stand 2006: John Cena vs. RVD
-Wrestlemania 23: John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels

Even when John Cena fought Jericho a few times in 2005, Cena was garnering HUGE crowd reactions (and yes - I realize that even though Cena was supposed to be a face, he was getting SPECTACULAR boo's!). This is the part where I will disagree with lots of people:

While most people will be disturbed at how much negativity surrounds Cena in high profile matches (because he's supposed to be a face), I think it's great.....far and away the BEST thing the WWE has going for them right now.

And for this reason, I think the WWE should continue to shove Cena down the fans' throats. Have Cena get into feuds with the likes of Undertaker, Batista, Triple H, Austin, Hogan, and The Rock. Now obviously - Cena should job in a few of these matches (to prevent predictability), but ultimately....Cena should ALWAYS win the last match in his respective feuds with them.

I don't know how long it would take Cena to feud with all of the aforementioned men (1 year? 1.5 years?). Assuming that Cena has gone over ALL of these guys, THEN you can have guys from the new era (i.e. Kennedy, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, etc.) feuding against Cena (by that time, these guys might be ready for the main-event level).

The main point I want to make, is that the WWE should milk Cena for all he's worth. Having Cena face crap opponents like Khali and Umaga won't do it. Cena's the WWE's meal ticket. Give him high profile opponents, and let him go over all in the end. The fans can react however they want.
