That would mess around with "the Rumble winner has a guaranteed title
shot", though.  What if you turn that around, have Michaels beat HHH
earlier, then have Benoit beat Michaels?  But that would mess around
with the Benoit/Evolution rivalry.  Hmm, maybe Benoit just wins and
then offers Michaels an early shot (with HHH's rematch shortly before,
after, or simultaneous as a triple threat)?

Predictions for Smackdown, by the way:  Eddy wins the title at No Way
Out.  Angle wins the triple threat for the #1 contendership, and the
Guerrero/Angle heat from the end of the half-Rumble is revisited at
Mania.  Lesnar/Goldberg still happens, but as a personal feud; this
is why Goldberg has been touted as going after Lesnar, rather than
Lesnar's title.
