Several people in WWE think that Sheamus and Orton are both draws. They're big fans. And, by rights, both guys should be. They're big, talented, workers who are tremendously underrated by the IWC (possibly because they "look like champions" and most guys the IWC prize are smaller guys with more impressive workrates, like Bryan, Punk, and Jericho).
Both guys, however, work like big stars, which means they use simplified, mainly low-risk movesets that don't impress the IWC very much. This rumor tells me two things: 1) that there has been discussion of a one-year title reign...we all know HHH wants longer reigns (Punk's carried the WWE title for nearly a year and Sheamus has carried the WHC since Wrestlemania without either title being hotshotted onto anyone else), and 2) that one of these guys is going to have to turn heel because neither is big enough to make a good face vs. face feud.
Also, it's Meltzer and it's just talk at this point. Don't go off the deep end.
