Do I think that Rey Mysterio would be a great candidate to be the face of RAW? Yes, I do.
And yet, I don't think that it should be him who defeats Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series to become the WWE Champion, because Lesnar's reign has just commenced and for him to lose so soon, would make Kofi Kingston's loss on SmackDown absolutely meaningless. Brock Lesnar should, much like The Fiend, be portrayed as a bulletproof champion so that when someone does manage to defeat him, he/she gets the rub!

I know that Brock Lesnar does not have to lose clean for the title to change hands because Cain Velasquez or even Dio Maddin could show up and bash Lesnar's head in with a foreign object, incessantly. Even Rey Mysterio's own son could appear and help his father avenge all the wrong that's been done to their family.
And yet, I feel that it makes all the sense in the world to keep the title on Brock Lesnar for now. Maybe have someone like Drew McIntyre beat him at WrestleMania next year!
