But the Board of Directors can, and I assume they'd be a bit upset when th etitle is stripped off a champion for no reason at all. That's the only reason I can think of.
I personally hope Jericho says since all three men technically lost the match (Benoit got pinned, Edge tapped and Triple H wasn't involved in any decision), none of them deserves to be the World Heavyweight Champion. Jeirhco crowns himself the vacant title holder, and gives himself the night off and books Benoit vs. Edge in an I Quit Match, which doesn't finish because it goes right off the air.
Triple H complains to Eric Bischoff and says he wants a rematch. Bischoff says Triple H can't have a rematch, because their is no rematch clause when the title is awarded to a wrestler. Triple H is pissed, so he starts a feud with Jericho. We see the I Quit Match continue on RAW, with Bischoff making it that the first man to say "I Quit" in any period of time loses the match. He says no more time will be dedicated to this match.
This sets up a number of angles, and gets the title onto Jericho.
