That night CM Punk was laid out by the newly formed Legacy, and a replacement was needed.
Earlier in the night Chris Jericho was destroyed by HBK and was in no condition to perform, probably worse off in kayfabe than CM Punk was. However, Jericho was chosen by Mike Adamle and won the title by doing nothing. So, theoretically, anyone could have been chosen and coulda been world champion that night.
Pick someone else on the roster to win the title that night.
Roster in 2008:
John Cena (injured) Shawn Michaels Evan Bourne Cody Rhodes Paul London Val Venis Charlie Haas Super Crazy Jim Duggan D-Lo Brown Ron Simmons D.H. Smith
Randy Orton (injured) Umaga
Mr. Kennedy (suspended at the time) Carlito Santino Marella Trevor Murdoch Lance Cade William Regal Robbie McAllister Rory McAllister Paul Burchill Gene Snitsky Ted DiBiase Jr. Manu

I always thought it would have been funny if the match went the full 25:00 without a pinfall or submission and Punk retained the championship without even being in the match.

People bitch about the current roster but looking back to 2008, THAT was a WEAK roster!!

That coulda been pulled off, if it was a heel and it wasn't the main event. That'd be such a heel tactic to come out after and walk slowly, grab title, and raise it up taunting everyone in the match.

Yeah, but the way they were booking Punk at the time was that he would keep lucking into situation where he would retain the title. He wasn't booked as a strong champion at the time, more of like a "fluke" champion, so in that essence it would have fit the storyline for him. But the match couldn't have been the main event.

HBK. His feud with Jericho was really the only thing that even mattered to me at the time anyway.
I would have liked Carlito as champ but that would have made even less sense than what happened.

Erm, only wrestlers who would've made sense were Shawn Michaels or Chris Jericho, I believe the Raw Scramble was former World Champions only (I may be wrong). (:

Shawn Michaels, because it would've A) Still lead to that awesome Ladder Match and B) We would've gotten Shawn Michaels vs. CM Punk the very next night on Raw.
