If not Rhino, who else? There is no one else with enough credibility to even be called the World Champion at this juncture in TNA's arrival to the main stream - Raven is being set up for a run down the road, AJ Styles is the X Division champion, Jeff Hardy couldn't carry the belt, and Monty Brown and Lance Hoyt just aren't over enough yet.
The only other route they could have taken was to allow Jeff Jarrett to walk out of Bound For Glory with the World Title intact. That would be like Hulk Hogan and Mr.T jobbing for Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff at WrestleMania - they're trying to start a reputation for BFG as their own biggest show of the year - and they needed a happy ending.
Like I said, what would you have done differently?

Rhino stopped being treated as a credible main eventer the day after he arrived. He;s been firmly entrenched in the midcard. And, hasn't't he also been basically a heel, feuding with Sabu and Hardy?
There was no legit reason to take the strap off JJ. The best thing TNA has ever done was the Raven/JJ feud, and it looked as if they were headed in that direction again, and now they basically delivered a surprise ending which satisfied a tiny minority of TNA fans but also prorbably screwd up their stoylines for the next month or so, along with the main event for their next PPV.
