They're trying to have it both ways.
1) They want to capitalize on Eddie's death by pushing Rey.
2) They want to push Orton back into the top tier.
The only problem is, they only have one title for those guys to compete over. They had to choose one eventually, and they're picking the wrong time to do it. If they wanted Orton to go over at Mania, Orton should have won the Rumble. If they wanted to push Rey, he should beat Orton to continue his momentum (see: Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart @ NWO 1996).
