People thinking someone will win isn't a spoiler.
Wrestling is a scripted event. Betting lines would not favor Ryder, of all people, if they didn't have a reason to, they have inside scoops. Same with the battle royal above.
IIRC, it was reported after the fact that betting lines shifted to Brock Lesnar shortly before WrestleMania 30.
Like I said, it's not the end of the world or anything. At the end of the day I don't really care that much, but it still would have been a lot better to put a warning in the title, even if it wasn't an absolute guarantee. That moment would have been a lot more surprising (for better or worse). Just IMO tho, not a big deal. IC title match or the battle royal aren't that big of deals.
