Mania results really been pointless for a while especially the lower tier matches. Ryback lost clean as a whistle to Mark Henry in a throwaway match and came out and got a title shot vs Cena the next night a few years back.

They'll use it as a "You never know what will happen at Wrestlemania" moment in promotional video packages for years and act as if everything that happened with him afterwards is irrelevant.
Was obvious that Ryder winning was either this or just to throw him a bone before he either leaves the company or moves into a non-wrestling role or something.

Loses the belt on Raw.... To Miz. :dame:

The smart thing would of had Zayn win it and have him and KO have a memorable feud over the belt. Instead they don't wanna elevate their talent and make a belt feel relevant, like they were trying to do a year ago.

#WWELogic :scust:

You think Zayn would've been the better option in hindsight? Realize that the last time they put a belt on Zayn and started a KO feud, it resulted in one match and Sami being gone for almost/if not a year.

The feud's just fine without a title. They don't need belts to make that feud matter, and it's essentially better off without it because then they can actually build on the story about how two former friends just flat out hate one another.

Zayn essentially took the IC title away from Owens by murdering him in that match...and then Owens paid him back by murdering him backstage at Raw last night. If Zayn's injured (kayfabe or otherwise) then this is the 2nd time that Owens is costing him time. With no belt involved, their one-on-ones can end unpredictably with any kind of stipulation installed, and when they eventually do get a belt involved in a one-on-one, they can recreate one of their most classic matches with the light solely on the two of them.

but then if those 2 feud for the IC belt then you dont have the 4 way mach for #1 WHC contender...so how would you book that?

For real? You could of still used them for that match and did everything the same.

The belt would of made the feud more meaningful than it already is. A lot of feuds were elevated more with a belt on the line. Maybe down the road it'll happen, but it could of been done now.
