How was that not them seriously being interested in doing something? He's held the belt 8 times. It's not really a step up or down, and he won it clean off Jeff Hardy who has been momentus and over as hell.
I think the bottom line is, Jericho returning was a big moment, then it was back to basics which means uppermidcard. He's been doing fine there. They'll prob use him in the same capacity, with an occasional main event push every so often. It's not a bad thing.
It's also a credit to him as a performer and employee, since when the most popular guy on the roster has to go they send him out there to take his title for "safekeeping" knowing that he's not gonna fuck up with the belt or be a lesser champion. He may not be the biggest draw or the most powerful backstage, but I think he's genuinely well liked and respected and probably seen as one of the most trustworthy and consistent employees they have. He supposedly has never missed a date for WWE, and I think it's no coincidence that they're sending him of all their talent back to Larry King Live along with Cena after how well they did on there after the Benoit thing.
