for starters:
i do not think dropping the title devalues it. they champ doesn't have to lose it, and it makes it look like a stepping-stone for the world title, which it should be. you didn't kill any run that aries had rolling. sure, a young guy doesn't get to go 'over' him and get the rub, but, in this case, i don't think that would have worked well.
plus the 'option c' bs of having this possibly happen every year, gives another chance for a lower-card guard guy to be well built and 'step up' to the main event.
