This concept pretty much calls for a heel title change, in my opinion. A face winning the title here would look cheap and cowardly, so a heel taking it would make the most sense. I think the title should change in at least one of the Scrambles, and Triple H is really the only champion worth tinkering with. Hey, the sooner he loses it the sooner he can win #13, after all.
MVP, Shelton Benjamin and The Brian Kendrick are all in with a pretty good chance to walk away WWE Champion, I think. I mean, from a logical booking standpoint. Obviously there are going to be complications such as Triple H squashing them all. I'm wondering if it is too early to push Kendrick like that. I mean, it's hard to ever imagine him being WWE Champion, let alone after the next WWE PPV, just a few weeks into his heel push. And with CM Punk as the other World Champion, it would feel like a very ROH-esque WWE main event scene.
MVP or Shelton Benjamin seem like the more distinct choices. Shelton is the current US Champion, which holds him back but doesn't disqualify him. Especially if he drops the title to say, R-Truth, before the PPV. It feels pretty early for MVP, but then again, they have to fucking bite the bullet with him sometime.
