Not every decision involving the WWE title needs to be intended for long-term plans. I don't know why you're pushing that idea, Agua.
Yes, it's important to treat the title with dignity and use it to create new stars and cement current ones, but ultimately it's a prop to advance storylines. They already do plenty with the belt to keep it somewhat prestigious and on current or future stars.
It can also very easily be used to create moments/storylines that the company feels are worthwhile in the present. If you weren't so concerned about the X's and O's of booking, and just humored the show, maybe you'd enjoy yourself.
Having a legitimate veteran pull off an upset is not going to destroy the company or the belt. I promise. Maybe if they did that shit every night, but they don't.
It will most likely pop the crowd and send a lot of people home happy, while advancing The Miz's current storyline. And I highly doubt anyone is going to get "buried" in the process. Ultimately it will also lead to the title finding it's way back to it's normal place, and probably more heat for the heel who takes it back.
