Ryder winning ended up being the perfect way for Miz to benefit the most with a quick title change. Not only does he get hated even more by the crowd, it also played into people thinking Vince pulled another gag on Ryder. If Zayn was the champ and Owens cost him the title, Miz doesn't get as big of a heel reaction than he did with Ryder.
Completely disagree. Ryder winning the IC Title brought the title down more than it brought Ryder up. I've heard that petitioning story before, and it just goes to show how much the business has changed. Back in the day when guys drew money, every person in that match would have been trying to petition why they should have been given the belt. Now everybody gets a prize and no one is really over.
