So I've been thinking about backlash.
Apparently on smackdown, batista/shane beat diabiase/rhodes, teasing more conflict. I think orton goes over sunday.
I think edge goes over cena, although having him standing over his body an hour into raw would usually make me think otherwise. But I think they'll use that beatdown as Cena's excuse, and it gets a title back on sd.
I can't imagine two heels going over on the same card, which is why I think that match looks like a setup for punk to cash in. He's not on the card, he'll be coming off a weak victory and two losses (tag matches on superstars and smackdown) and it's a direct open for a program with edge. And disregarding the fact that it's a shit ppv that nobody will watch, storyline-wise, what better possible opportunity would he have to cash in than after a last man standing match?
All that said I think it's too soon to do it, because even with his win last year, they haven't done much to build him up. Maybe have Jericho challenge him on SD, lose the belt in Chicago at Judgement Day and then have him eventually regain later in the summer to establish him.
