Giving Ryder the IC belt was a good way to advance the Zayn/Owens feud without giving either guy the upper hand coming out of Mania (and those two don't need a belt to spit hot fire). It also resets the stakes for future multi-man ladder matches, since there actually is once again the possibility that anyone could win it. Also, maybe Cesaro returns and takes the belt tonight?

I don't think they could go through with having HHH hold the title till Summerslam, and Brock's still a special event guy with or without the belt.

Kalisto is helped out by the US belt, in that he'll actually defend it, but it's also possible Cena takes it back and reestablishes the Challenge.
