Of course not, while the possibility of placing the title on Rey had been discussed before Eddie's death but not taken at serious consideration, it would be impossible to imagine WWE willing to pull the trigger on such a move.

 

Anyways, Rey owns his title reign to Batista more then Eddie.

No.

The greater question is, if Eddie hadn't died, would Head Cheese have returned and been pushed?

If Eddie hadn't died, Angle wouldn't have even been champ before Rey.

 

There would've been no need to move a Raw guy to hold the World title since they could've just put it on Eddie when Batista got hurt. I think Rey still would've gotten the title eventually, but not as soon as he did.

I disagree.

 

WWE has absolutely no faith that Rey himself could get over on a world title level.

 

I think there'd be a slight chance they would have given Rey a short, transitional run if roster trouble ensued... but, that's all.

Had Eddie not died, probably Eddie would've held the title from November until WM22. I'm guessing Batista would've gone ahead and taken some time off after losing the title (and wouldn't have been injured while wrestling Mark Henry), and might have been ready to return by WM22. Thus, the SD main event probably would've been Eddie v. Batista v. Orton. Rey, on the other hand, would've competed in the Money in the Bank Match.

I might have to be different here and say yes. I mean if Eddie was the champion for the last few months, Angle would have never come over, and we'd still have tweenerish champ looking for a face to lose the belt to. Since Orton wouldn't be getting the title either way, and they wouldn't have both Eddie and Cena retain at WM, I think Rey still probably would have got the belt. I think that title reign was ultimately about lack of options more than at was capitalizing on Eddie's death.

If anything Batista would have won the title back from Eddie. Rey would most likely be in the MITB ladder match and not won.

Yes he would. The original plan was for Orton to win but he pissed off managment so they decided to give the belt to Angle. So the combo of Orton being stupid and Eddie passing is what made Angle the champ. But as for the question about Rey, there is no chance in hell he would be the champ if Eddie had not died.
