If you look at things in isolation - why would Vince ever worry about CM Punk walking with the title if he was going to crown a new champ the next night anyway?
Because he doesn't want to go to all the bother of making a new title, organising a tournament and looking like a major idiot for letting Punk get in that position anyway. He's horribly embarrassed and he's trying to hide it with the tournie.
