I don't see Batista winning the strap, that'd be a disaster with the fans....if the RR reaction was bad, I can't even imagine him winning at Mania in a clunker of a match. I cant even see him lasting a full match anymore without gassing completely.
I don't see Orton retaining anymore. It just wouldnt make sense. The fans have been agitated by Orton winning every time by hook or crook for a while, and WM is usually the pay-off for such things.
Bryan having a match with HHH really wouldnt mean much overall. What better time to put the title on him than in front of 80,000 ppl chanting "YES"....that's truly a Wrestlemania moment if such thing exists. If you dont put the title on him now then when? Summerslam?
That's WAY too long & far away to gamble with fan interest....not to mention I imagine a huge number of ppl would sign up for the Network to see IF Bryan can win the belt at Mania
If he doesnt somehow pull double duty, I see a scenario where he and Batista flip-flop matches....maybe somehow Batista gets pissed off at HHH for his return not going so smoothly, and Bryan somehow gets the match with Orton.
