As I understand it, bret's creative control clause was only for 30 days prior to his contract expiring. If that was true, the bad blood ppv was on the 5th of October and I feel Bret should have dropped the title there. Vader wasn't massive over but would have been a believable transition champ for a month to get the belt back to shawn.
I could never understand vince's mindset of having one of your top stars go to competition with any kind of steam. I don't even know why they put the title on Bret at summerslam that year
