Lawler brings a LOT to the table, even to this day.
As I said earlier, I like the idea of him winning it. Cluster for the win. They've always portrayed him as a "wily veteran" and whatnot, so let him play that up. Hell, let him roll out of the ring and lay low, and when the other guys trade finishers, he rolls in during the pin, grabs the guy pinning and pulls him directly into a piledriver, holds it for a three count, and celebrates. Fluke win, no one in the match or the belt loses cred since it was stripped from the cowardly, underhanded champ.
The crowd will eat it up.
A night later, Lawler gets out-wrestled and becomes the victim of interference by someone like Riley. Lawler v. Riley at Mania, Riley goes for the DQ loss giving Lawler the win at Mania, and Riley and Miz proceed to destroy Jerry until wrestlers can intervene and chase them off. Lawler is hurt, and gets written off the TV.
Win all 'round.
