I'd have maybe gone with Christian and Zack Ryder just appearing on The Abraham Washington Show this week, with the two working an entertaining promo together. Ryder could also get a win on Superstars over Tyler Reks, or something. The following week on ECW, have Ryder & William Regal defeat Christian & Yoshi Tatsu after Ryder scores a pin on Christian after Regal's help (this keeps Regal in the scene). Yoshi also fits here, as he pinned Ryder the same night he became #1 Contender. Ryder then has something to gloat about heading into the PPV, and Christian has got something to prove.

I think Ryder has had more than enough appearances and wins on both SuperStars and on ECW itself to merit a title match at HiaC. However, it appears as though they've decided to go the route of "Hey, let's have a super ridiculously long 20-minute+ main event for the ECW Championship tonight, just to have Ryder come frustratingly short of winning the title, then do a shit rematch at the upcoming HiaC pay-per-view, which ends with the same result in half the time." Typical ECW booking, in other words.
