^Although I don't think that will nor do I think that is a great feud, it happened once before and I'm guessing reinvented was referring to it being brought back since they had history. So it would be started because they already did it once. I expect Lashley to feud with Kennedy when he comes back assuming he stays on Raw because Kennedy was the one that "took" him out. Thats assuming Lashley comes back on Raw and Kennedy is done with his feud with HBK.

Let's not fool ourselves. Lashley is seen by booking as the second babyface to push behind Cena. He will be competing for the WWE title or high profile matches, not IC matches.

The IC title will go to midcard/lower midcard talent. The highest profile wrestler that could win the title is Umaga, again. As for right now, I would like to see them giving the belt for a younger wrestler. Give them the chance. Thanks to a bold decision from booking we got Santino Marella. Give it to DH Smith. Give him the chance. With the title, it comes a midcard feud for it and maybe we could see if he has talent enough for succeding.

Gimmick is not needed. Just push him, hell, I will give you a gimmick: Blue Chipper.

Bill him as the young contender managing to win the title, and then in feuds being irrespected for his youth by older challengers.

^That sounds good but where is the prestige in the title anymore. I think hardly any main midcarders have held he tiutle for as while. I think that the only reason that Jeff and Orton wrestled for the title is because they do not want people like us complaining because he has not defended the title in 30 days which is the rule in Kayfabe

Lashley could get the IC belt because I doubt they will push him to main event now and or when Cena comes back.

Lashley is the best choice in my mind! HBK winning the IC belt aswell can be a good thing.

ya they should give some main eventers like lashley and hbk and kennedy the ic title and give it some prestige... that way it could help push some other talent eventually...

The only reason Orton challenged Hardy for the belt was so that he could get him in the ring and attack him. It had nothing to do with the 30 day rule. I'm fairly certain that Jeff had defended it against someone within 30 days, but I could be wrong. I know he wrestled Carlito for it, but I think that was past 30 days.

HBK doesn't work fulltime so he won't be getting the WWE title but as an IC champ he can push it to the limit.

I think it'd be awesome if an HBK type wrestler won the IC belt, but at this point I'm guessing he's "above" that belt and I don't see that happening with him any time in the near future or ever to be honest.

Anything can happen in the E!
List below is who I think should fight for the IC belt....

Y2J
HBK
Lashley
Carlito
Kennedy
Umaga
Trevor Murdoch
D.H Smith

Upper Mid card and Midcard
 

CT Styles

HBK doesn't want anymore titles and he won't get anymore. Unless they vacate the IC if Jeff wins the WWE title and it could be HBK vs Kennedy or anyone for the vacant IC title and HBK could put over that person and add some prestige to the title.

Yea i don't think it would work for HBK...I've always seen the IC title as wrestlers not quite at there prime...and well as many of you can tell...HBK is just a "little" past his prime...but Kennedy is perfect for the ic title...
