Everyone just accepts the official story that the main event was supposed to be Orton vs Batista and Daniel Bryan was only added because the fans demanded it.
I feel like to any Savy viewer of Wrestling Tropes, it should be obvious that they were building to Bryan becoming champ at WM30 all along. Yet everyone including the WhatCulture people have been dupped.
First of all if it had simply been Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble, that would have given us just Bryan vs Orton, a match we'd seen several times already in the previous year.
If they really wanted to give Batista a title reign to correspond with Guardians of The Galaxy, they would have saved that for Summer Slam, much closer to when that movie came out.
Triple H knew this story-line had a Meta Quality to it, and so he pushed that aspect of it hard.
Part of why people still buy it, is that WWE apparently made the same mistake again the following year and this time didn't back down. But that's the key difference, they didn't back down. Vince is very stubborn.
P.S. I have some advice for WWE if they want it, on how to get people behind Roman Reigns. Reform The Shield, the fans love for The Shield would be strong enough to override their hate of Roman.
