I would think so. Since Cena is now gone for a while, mcmahon cannot afford to have the roster continued to be depleted.
They could just push John Morrison as the top face.. Won't happen, but they could do it. He gets the reactions and he performs well. And regardless of what pop he gets, I won't count Orton as a face. If they have someone in that face role, they can flip Cena...if they'd ever consider doing that.
I think they NEED to push Morrison to be the top face on Raw right now. He's got all the in ring skills you can ask for and is pretty good on the mic too. I see no reason to not push him as a top face, and I actually think they will given how much of a roll he's been on. In fact, I'll go out and say right now that I think he'll win King of the Ring on Monday. But I do think HHH will be back relatively soon too. Everything I'd heard a while back said he'd come back late 2010, so who knows, he could come back at TLC. If not, I'd expect a return around the Rumble if he doesn't come back this year.
WWE will have to get him back. I don't see how the ratings will improve anymore especially with Cena out.
Clearly, people are going to watch because The Miz is the new champ. I'm sure that's going to draw tons of new fans.
Hey, well, I don't really see it lasting long. Either Wade gets it soon or Orton gets it back. Champion will face HHH.
I hope you're right, but I think this could be a pretty lengthy title run. They've been building him up pretty steadily for a while now, so I don't know how much sense it would make if he lost it at TLC. I think he'll at least hold it until the Rumble.
