So, why did they have...*RAW Spoilers*

The belt isn't what is freaking important here.

The fact is that Jericho talked about vanquishing Shawn. He made it known that he thought he should get a world title match. He didn't get that match when he lost that triple threat to JBL. He then went on to later beat CM Punk.

How would it NOT make sense to place him in the scramble? He's "moved on", but not really, since he still makes comments about Shawn like every chance he gets (Like he did with Dean Malenko in WCW), meanwhile we could get "updates" on Shawn or whatever.

The scramble match comes, everything is going normal, but then Shawn comes out mid-match and beats down Jericho and takes him out of the match. The pops for the moment, and for his return on Raw the next night would have been bigger and better, and an emotion filled promo would set the stage for round 2 of the feud. Rather than moving directly from round 1 to round 2 with no dramatic pause.

The title is unimportant and does not impact on their feud. It is not "brought into" their feud, and does not get in the way of their conflict. Jericho CAN mention Shawn costing him the title, but then go on about his whole Shawn is a horrible person who needs the spotlight rant.
