Ryback seemed like the big favorite.

Yeup. Was the big favorite for 2014 and 2015 since they pretty much repeated the same storyline about it being Big Show's match to lose for both years. Its why 2014 felt like a big upset and 2015 felt like WWE just honoring Big Show's career as the "Andre" of his gen.
2016 had the rise of Braun so it wasn't just Big Show as the clear favorite and the Shaq stuff was meant to move Show out of the match for 2017. Also had a chance of not happening because of Papa Shango's Curse wrecking the roster at the time.
