Facing Taker isn't gonna do shit for him. He's got no chance of ending the Streak and that's the only way he's got a chance at following HBK the past 2 years.
He needs to be in the WHC match. Hell, he was the one who SHOULD have won the Royal Rumble instead of ADR, but of course, they drop the ball with him. He should've won the belt when he was controlling Raw and contracting the most ungodly heat this side of JBL, but they dropped the ball too. I don't know what WWE's problem is. It's like they trust him in any top position as long as it doesn't include winning the title.
EDIT ~ Oh, thank GOD, Edge is still the champion.....I've never been so happy to say that.
