Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 I'm pretty sure either Eddie or Randy Orton would be champion right now...assuming Orton didn't get suspsended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest J0bber Report post Posted April 12, 2006 The greater question is, if Eddie hadn't died, would Head Cheese have returned and been pushed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 he would have been champ eventually, Eddie's death and Batista's injury just speeded it up a year or so...but there's no doubt about it, sooner or later he would have had a world title reign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted April 12, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 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. credit: The Alternate Universe 34545B Observer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 No. Eddy would be. If Batista didn't get injured, he would be. There would have likely been plans to put the belt on Orton in either case, but his suspension would end that and the champion would retain at Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rey would most likely be in the MITB ladder match and not won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
