– Vince McMahon’s plans for John Bradshaw Layfield is for him to hold onto the title until Summerslam, however, other writers (including Paul Heyman before he was demoted) were trying to convince him to change it to Wrestlemania.
– At that point, the plan would be for John Cena to defeat JBL to win the title while over on RAW, Randy Orton would recapture the World title before a re-draft takes place immediately after Wrestlemania. This would then lead to Cena being drafted by RAW and Orton by Smackdown! which would lead to a whole new round of opponents for each wrestler. Orton would get an extended run as champion and Cena would in all likelihood eventually drop the title back to Triple H.
– However, it is unclear whether these initial plans are still intact because a lot of it was Paul Heyman’s proposals. Furthermore, Stephanie McMahon doesn’t favor John Cena as champ since she feels that he isn’t a good enough worker to be at the top and that his pops aren’t at championship levels.
– Keep in mind these are just talked about plans right now and could change at the flick of a switch.
