I think they could have eased him away from the title picture after that match. Have him hunting Brad Maddox for a couple weeks before finally getting his hands on him and destroying him. Then he turns his attention to Heyman who was the mastermind behind it and in comes Lesnar to protect him. If you've got a Lesnar-Ryback showdown on the horizon, people are gonna quickly forget about the issue of Ryback not getting another shot at the title.
