People internally were very happy with Orton vs Harper. Going by the way they have laid out the storyline it always seemed like Harper would play a role. Either by interfering, being at ringside, or being in the match. Either way, you tell the same story.
As for Orton, I think he just plays the contract card. He says look I won the Rumble, I get the spot in the match note that it's Harper who won the battle royal. Bryan and Shane have to keep Harper in the match because now he too has a contract. Or they could just have Orton and Harper have a match.
