Yep, seems legit. Give Ryder his big WM moment in a great match where he still proves he is over. Give it to The Miz the next night to begin his reign of shenanigans so he can drop it either to Ryder (and maybe replicate a bit of the Ryder-Ziggler feud) or someone who should be main eventing but thanks to Lord Reigns, won't be; Styles, Cesaro or Zayn could be great face champions and well, hopefully we can start to see prestige returned to the title. A long Miz-Ryder feud could do wonders for the belt as whilst Miz and Ryder don't sound like they would make for the most exciting feud, Ryder is still clearly over and if they let him chase a heel champion who keeps denying him his big shot via shenanigans, Ryder can only get more over and he's MUCH better on the mic and in-ring nowadays so it can only do some good. Meanwhile, the other 3 names are perhaps more credible and someone like Cesaro doing the freaky magical shit he does in the ring, a lot of the big moments on a PPV will be him destroying people for the title.
Seriously, I know WWE will fuck this up but they have such a great opportunity to make the IC title cared about again. The new Women's Championship looks good enough right now after they stole the show at WM32, so with a similar group of mega-talented superstars in the IC division, they can still do it. They did it with the US title with Cena, but now they need to work hard on the IC title and make sure the momentum doesn't drop.
(IC division featuring Styles, Cesaro, Zayn, KO, Stardust, Miz, Ryder, Sandow, Corbin, Ziggler, Crews... that would be magical. Heck, having someone like Orton fight for the title someday would do a lot of good too, of course they have to do Orton vs Lesnar before that )
