WWE has in their possesion some great heels who have all the potential in the world: The Legend Killer Randy Orton and (an Irish Whip favorite) Mr. Kennedy. However, recently these guys have more or less been used as beating devices for the top faces in the company, like Cena, Lashley, HBK, and Triple H. Will there come a time that WWE puts over either Orton or Kennedy with a clean win and makes him the top man in the company?
The only way this would happen is if WWE turned one of them face. This wouldn't be difficult: Orton has been a beloved face in the past, and lot's of people love Kennedy to start with.
Here's what WWE should do: a couple of months before a Wrestlemania, turn one of them face and turn Cena (or whoever the champ is at the time) heel. Then allow Orton or Kennedy a clean win. I generally like Cena, and he does a pretty good job with the belt, but he has had it for years now and has run his course. Orton and Kennedy (the Whip endorses Kennedy!) can be GREAT. Cena has only been good.
Here's what WWE will do: Orton will feud with Triple H upon his return, culminating in a match at Survivor Series or maybe even Wrestlemania 24. Who will Kennedy feud with? I'm not sure...I see a Booker-Lashley feud coming on, so maybe Kennedy will get a WWE Title feud with Cena. Even if they don't give Kennedy the belt, a championship feud would give him more credibility.
What do you think? Should WWE push up one of its top young heels, or are Cena and Lashley (good Lord) good enough?

Cena and Lashley are NOT good enough. We need Kennedy and Orton on top of the totem pole. I would want Cena to move to Smackdown and have a shot at the United States Title. Maybe have Lashley in a bunch of non-title feuds for awhile or something.
Someday....someday...not soon though. They love Cena and that STFU.
I just want to point out the sign shown on RAW that says "Shelton is main event quality, not Cena". Anyway, Cena must die. I don't mean that he should go away. I mean he should overdose or fall or do whatever wrestlers do to hurt themselves permenantly, so that he has no chance to EVER come back. Even superman felt defeat, when will Cena? Just because you move t-shirts does not make you a great talent. Heels are being F@$%ed left and right. Not to mention all the greats that have put Cena over in the last few months. Beating HHH and HKB at consecutive Wrestlemania's. Maybe thats the problem. Two Mania's where neither competetor was a heel is bad for business.
