Remember back in 2007 when Cena got injured? The belt was relinquished, sure, but at the same time we some somewhat fresh matches on the run until he returned. Umaga was a brief WWE title contender when Triple H won the belt immediately off Orton, we saw HBK/Orton for the title for the first time in four years, and we also got Jericho as a face title contender a year before his World title victory.
And sure, there weren't too many elevations during that run, but we got a somewhat fresh ME scene out of it, sort of like what happened after Lesnar left Smackdown in 2004. But that's the sad thing, it literally looks like in order for WWE to make a new star, they have to have a suspension or an injury to try and push or elevate somebody.
So, let's try something here. Let's say everyone on Raw or Smackdown that's a face and has held the World or WWE title got injured or suspended, and you have to book around this with the faces that have ME potential, but have not been pushed in such a way yet until Royal Rumble. Who would be in the ME scene now until then? How would you book it? How would you consider contenders?
