Think him leaving with the title could have been a bigger moment had the WWE not started the new champion tournament the next night and then rushed the belt right back to Cena. Sort of undid the entire storyline leading up to that moment when Vince no longer cared and just had a new belt ready.
Would have been better to let it soak in that the belt is really gone for a few weeks while Vince tries everything to get Punk to come back. The tournament still gets done later but is seen more as a last ditch move by Vince to restore the integrity of the WWE title than something that happens the first day Punk is gone.
