I always get the feeling that the WWE love Randy Orton, so I think after this Batista vs. Bradshaw thing finishes at the next PPV then we'll see them build towards Batista vs. Orton for the next few months with Orton taking the title. Just a prediction. I'd of course put Eddie instead of Orton, but with Orton's inevitable win over Taker coming, then in a booking sense it's only right for Orton to be the next top heel.

 

After Eddy, I can see Rey going up against either Bradshaw or Christian. Basically I don't see him moving up, especially when the Champion is a face.

I feel that the Orton/Batista match would be held off for if Lesnar fails to come to terms with them. I see Eddy/Batista taking place at No Mercy and possibly Survivor Series. Then after that, Orton if no Lesnar.
