I am sure it was part of getting him to leave Vince. He will probably dump it back off to Sting next month. Foley only has so many matches in that body of him.

He left Vince before thinking about TNA. Foley and Vince don't often see eye to eye. Foley was good in his day (Hell in a Cell against Undertaker) but shouldn't be holding any big strap at this point in his career.
