Fantasy Booking Short: Raw and Smackdown in 2005

This one is significantly shorter than the other Fantasy Bookings I've put out, more of an idea really. A timeline from WrestleMania 21 to WrestleMania 22

RAW

Batista and John Cena never switch brands, but Jericho goes to Smackdown, Angle stays on Smackdown, and Carlito comes to Raw. Batista spends the first bit of the year feuding with Triple H, then Christian, and finally Randy Orton. Around Summerslam, he enters a feud with Chris Benoit, who is trying to regain the title on the anniversary of the event he lost it. Batista and Benoit have a face vs face match, which Batista barely wins. Edge then cashes in his Money in the Bank, leaving Summerslam as World Champion. Edge and Batista feud through to Survivor Series, where they meet in a TLC Match and Batista wins the title back. At New Years Revloution, there is an Elimination Chamber between Batista, Carlito, Chris Masters, Edge, RVD and a surprise entrant, Mick Foley. It comes down to Batista, Edge and Mick, and Mick eliminates Edge with a roll up. Edge gets pissed and Spears Foley before leaving, allowing Batista to pick up the win.


At the Royal Rumble, Batista has one final match with Edge, with Mick as Special Referee. Mick catches Edge cheating and admonishes him, giving Batista the distraction to hit a Batista Bomb. The next night on Raw, Lita and Edge beat down Mick, and challenge him to a Hardcore Match at Wrestlemania, and after much provocation, Foley accepts. Shawn Michaels wins the Royal Rumble (he is still a heel from Summerslam 2005 on) and challenges Batista at Wrestlemania.

SmackDown

On Smackdown, Cena finishes up his feud with JBL after two PPV matches. By this point, Eddie Guerrero is finished with Rey Mysterio, and feuds with Cena up until Summerslam, when Cena wins. Cena is fed Big Show and some other monsters (Heidenreich, Mark Henry, Snitsky) and at Survivor Series he meets Kurt Angle (who won his feud against HBK). Cena wins again, beating Angle clean. At the Royabl Rumble, fresh off his Hell in a Cell with Randy Orton, Undertaker challenges Cena to a match, and Cena wins clean, and it looks like there is no stopping Cena. Hulk Hogan returns and challenges Cena to a match at Wrestlemania, and Cena accepts. Hogan and Cena team up for one night only at No Way Out to face the team of US Champion Booker T and Randy Orton, who have formed and alliance of sort, and the faces win.
