Only problem is assuming the idea was whoever wins the belt immediately drops it, then nobody except the Miz really benefits in the end. By letting Ryder win, at least a genuine "feel good" moment happens at Mania and the locker room feels happy for a guy who Vince/management go out of their way at times to ridicule.
Would also feel like a waste for Zayn's first main roster title be just a 1-day reign ending in possible shenanigans. Same for wasting some of Owens' star power on a meaningless reign.
Everyone else would basically feel like a bigger waste of a reign assuming once again the idea was to just hold it for a day.
