It makes sense that they did this switch. The WWE didn't really space things out as well as they wanted to with CM Punk & Kofi Kingston, I think. They have plans to have Punk and Regal feud, I think, but with things being sent into motion with that, they didn't really have time to do the switch to John Morrison & The Miz.
They probably could have waited to do the switch on the RAW after Armageddon, with Regal helping Morrison & Miz win after Punk has been named #1 Contender, but I guess they set themselves a deadline with Punk & Kofi that they couldn't keep.
House shows getting a title change here and there occasionally keeps them interesting, too.
