A Post Is Worth A Thousand Words
You bring up some good points, Will, as always. I'd tweak two or three things, a little. For instance, I can't see them having the World Tag Titles defended on the ppv as they barely ever focus on that, so since Batista and Mysterio won't have a match, I could very well see them having a #1 Contenders match between Cena, JBL, Mysterio, and Batista, with the winner challenging CM Punk at Summerslam after Punk retains against Edge (who goes on to have a match against HHH at Summerslam, naturally).
Only two problems with that in my opinion are:
1) How do they break the wedding off without screwing Edge's title shots and such, as the wedding is July 11th and the Great American Bash is the 20th? If she's still General Manager after the wedding, he wouldn't want to call it off as she could still book him in ridiculously favored matches. So they sort of need to have her lose her GM position, I think, or have him get caught in using her so that SHE calls it off and stops helping him.
2) They can't really have Punk get a clean win over Edge if La Familia is still involved, as that would make it seem like Undertaker and Batista weren't good enough to get the job done, but Punk is. He could very well get the win by having Chavo screw Edge out of it in vengeance for him having used Vickie, though.
3) Who does HHH face if he doesn't face Edge at GAB? I can't see Big Show unless they follow the method you mentioned before (but even then, I can't see Big Show looking dominant, as HHH never wants to look like the weak one). Can't see him knocking Kennedy or Hardy out of the race...can't see him going against MVP as they'd probably rather have a feud instead....so maybe Umaga? Triple H would, for the umpteenth time, that he has no qualms about destroying Umaga and making him look like he can't possibly lose to the Samoan Bulldozer, so I can see it happening again.
