I assume that Brock will want his rightful rematch for the world title after he takes care of Goldberg. I assume he'll attempt to go after the winner of Eddy/Angle.

Well, if Edge comes back and ends up on SD, it will likely be Edge.
If Edge returns as a Raw superstar, they might throw Lesnar and Eddie together for a while, while they work something else out. Angle can do anything, so they could pad Brock's dance card with a few weeks of Angle, but by mid-summer, they're definitely going to need something original for Brock to do, or the whole SD show could fall into a slump. Heyman's a smart cookie and a good booker, so I'm thinking they'll come up with something interesting.
I am also in favor of a heel team capturing the gold but I would much rather it be TWGTT. They are a great tag team and both Benjamin and Haas have huge potential to be stars in the WWE

I'd like to see Borck, Angle, and WGTT team up from time to time all as heels. Only problem is, more faces are needed to combat them. Big Show needs to turn face so he can be hilarious again, so that leaves us with Eddie, Cena, and Big Show to eventually oppose the former amatuers. Hopefully Edge doesn't go to RAW, yet at least. Edge vs HBK is a must-see before Michaels is outta here and retires for real.
There's a twom-month gap between Mania and the next SmackDown PPV, which gives them plenty of time to put together some fresh and interesting programmes. I'm thinking that Eddie goes over Angle at Mania and heads on into uncharted waters as champ, so here's what we do: for the top matches at Judgement Day, you have-
WWE Title Match Eddie Guerrero (c) Vs. The Big Show (The classic "I whomped you before, and I'll do it again" angle mixed in with some giant-killing, putting Eddie over bigtime once again)
WWE Tag Team Title Match Rikishi/Scotty II Hotty (c) Vs. Kurt Angle/Brock Lesnar (Keep the belts warm on 'Kish and Scotty for the next coupla months, then have the World-Class Wrecking Crew kill 'em here)
WWE United States Title Match John Cena (c) Vs. Chavo Guerrero (Push Guerrero as a serious threat to take advantage of his ties to Eddie)
WWE Cruiserweight Title Match Nunzio (c) Vs. Rey Mysterio (Have Nunzio pick up the belt from the cruiserweight battle royal at Mania and constantly keep rey at bay via his henchmen)
Tag Team Turmoil Match For No. 1 Contendership The APA Vs. The Basham Bros. Vs. Akio/Sakoda Vs. The FBI Vs. World's Greatest Tag Team Vs. Billy Kidman/Paul London (World's Greatest Tag Team take a hard-fought win, setting up a huge series with Angle/Lesnar over the summer)
That leaves Rhyno, Shannon Moore, Hardcore Holly, Jamie Noble, A-Train, Ultimo Dragon and Matt Morgan without dates. Rhyno Vs. Moore in an underdog-style match, perhaps? Or, shift RVD over to SD following Mania and have his debut squash match here after a few weeks of build. Put him over A-Train in a five-minute special or something, give him that aura of something unique. It could work-look how a switch rejuvenated The Big Show.
"You're A Big Hunk Of Hero Sandwich, And You Wanna Save The Girl!"
The problem I'd have with putting Paul Wight in against Eddy at Judgement Day is that with his knee problems I'd have Cena break his leg at Mania, thus giving him time off while providing Cena with credibility. If they hadn't given Booker T the tag belt on RAW I'd think of him getting the much needed heel turn and going after Eddy on SD. Either that or find a way to heel turn Jericho (yet again) and move him to Sd (perhaps in a trade for Edge if they are moving him) to go after Eddy and reignite the mid-late 90's WCW feud they had over the cruiser belt.
I totally forgot about Edge in that scenario-thanks for pointing it out. You could bump Chavo up into Show's spot for a big blow-off match, then place Edge against Cena for the US Title match. Have it go to a wild no-contest, and put it alongside Wrecking Crew/WGTT as one of the slow-burning feuds of the summer.

it would be great to see angle and lesnar team up and i definately feel a big show turn coming someime especially with his challenges to brock over the title around the time of the rumble. it would be good to see brock do something different for a while and teaming him with angle would still keep him in the spotlight. this would also create a great opportunity to have angle and brock have another short feud with each other.
matt morgan needs to start getting booked after mania

Would this be heel team vs heel team or would one turn face. I think it would be interesting just to see a face WGTT angle.

I've been pushing this mantra for a while now, but the best option is Edge.
Lesnar's done a rotation against every main eventer on Smackdown, and with a win over Goldberg, should have tremendous rub to give. Edge, however, has been off the shelf for a year, and unlike say a Hardcore Holly, Edge has the resume and fan following to have fans accept him higher on the card than he was before he left. Thus Lesnar-Edge would be new and fresh.
I'd keep Edge away from Lesnar for the time being. He's just jobbed to Eddie, I think he needs a break from singles competition for a while. Edge needs to be slowly reintroduced, not thrust into the top spot immediately-they've already elevated Eddie recently, and I'd rather see them expertly handle one new ME player without taking on another and botching both. Plus, I just don't think Edge is there yet.

This brings up a good point regarding Lesnar: At what point will they have to move him over to RAW in order to re-invigorate him with new competition? If they leave him as a single's wrestler through the summer, they will desperately need to move him by Survivor Series before he could become completely stale.
I think Brock and Goldberg end with a mutual respect handshake that kickstarts a Brock face turn. If they go with a full on Team Angle heel faction there really is limited room for top level heels. And as for him having faced everyone before, that's the downside of the roster split.
I truly believe SD should give Farooq one more World Title program. He can absolutely pull of the grizzled veteran angle and be a good opponent with a heel turn on Bradshaw for Eddie. Farooq can still wrestle a bit and even if it is a one month fued I believe he deserves it and can do it justice.
I hate it! I don't think that Bossman as "Booker's henchman" brings heat. It associated Booker with someone the fans absolutely hate (in an X-Pac sort of way) with Booker.
