Fast forward a few years. He is a surprise entry in the IC ladder match and wins, only to lose it to Miz the next night on RAW, because Vince doesn't "get" him again.
Call me insane, but he DEFINITELY deserves a main event run.

Vince would not cater to a petition, haha. I'm sure there was one, but Vince did a bit of smark service to see how things would go. He got the belt, they put him out there, and he blew his fucking promo. He got 29 days with the US Title actually and it was nothing.
Fast forward a few years and you get exactly my point. Ryder hasn't meant anything in years, he gets inserted into a clusterfuck match that really could have just been Zayn vs. Owens and the boys beg Vince to let him win the match because they're marks these days or whatever. The plan was never to go with him and it's a perfect demontrastion of why the IC Title means NOTHING.
How can you say he definitely deserves a main event run seriously? By what criteria? I mean, who "deserves" a main event run? Participation awards are why a lot is meaningless these days. But Ryder hasn't even proven himself good enough to handle a mid-card run let alone a main event run.
