Could a new planets plane be at a different degree as the other planets in our solar system?

I read this and wonder now, what if we would introduce a new planet to our solar system; would the force of gravitation demand a similar plane as that of the other planets?
Mercuries 6.3° indicate that a tilt is possible to some degree, but there are obviously limits. Would the plane of a new planet eventually be "sandwiched down", even if it were tilted 90° at the beginning?
