Just forgetting he exists most of the time and not even mentioning the guy for entire episodes of Raw seems bizarre and kinda makes the title feel less important in a weird way. Not to mention this is the perfect time for the IC title to become a HUGE deal as the biggest title you can see for free and they haven't done so. It makes the shows come off as kinda directionless.

Could have avoided a lot of this had the WWE just done some simple #1 contender tournaments or matches instead of just ignoring the title or only having Cena being worthy of title matches. If Lesnar is out for 2 months, just have a 2 month long tournament with guys going all out to prove to Lesnar they are worthy of a shot.
In a huge non-surprise, Harper became the latest victim in the IC/US title curse. Hasn't won a match since wining the belt. US title has been a bit better with Sheamus and Rusev but then again Sheamus' reign didn't really do anything for the belt's status.
