Vince won't show his face and make these matches spontaneously two nights in a row.

Edit: And Cynick, Loose Cannon, and anyone else who is too cynical to believe that somebody other than HHH can hold the championship...

Raw has done a great job of giving the title value. How would it look if they suddenly started giving EVERYONE a one week hold on the title. This coming after Vince personally came out (when he's already declared the Vince McMahon character "dead") to change the match to give the title a little more value making the Battle Royal a #1 contender's match. Why would they suddenly throw that to the dogs and shit on not only the title, but this Edge/ Benoit feud that they've been building up lately? They're not stupid. They don't just decide that they don't like a feud or storyline that they've already devoted to the main event spotlight and turn it around. (A midcard feud...sure, but not a main event one.)

Obviously allowing the title to change hands on a Raw was for ratings, so having the title change BACK a week later isn't gonna help the ratings. Sure, next monday everyone will tune in to see who the real champ is. Then when HHH gets it back, where the hell do you think all the viewers they picked up will go? MNF, that's where. Your viewers can only feel jaded and alienated so many times before they give up on the product.

Mark my words: HHH WILL NOT GET THE TITLE BACK ANY TIME SOON. New year's revolution will be Benoit/ Edge for the championship. HHH will have to exact his revenge on Orton for costing him the title. Maybe someday later he'll get the title back, but it sure as hell won't be in the next month.

If I'm wrong, I'll rep anyone who calls me on it.
