Holy shit snacks does that make no sense whatsoever and is that a way convoluted plan to get Bryan into the main event. Why not just have Bryan win the Rumble or even a #1 contenders match?
Oh yeah, CyNick/Vince logic.

For the same reason they did what they did.
Batista was positioned as the "Vince pick" to win the Rumble. The fans wanted Bryan. WWE had been telling a story of the Authority screwing and belittling Bryan since Summerslam. They use the "YES Movement" (get your tshirts at WWESHOP now! ) and the whole hijack RAW thing to force The Authority's hand. The whole angle was a way to make the fans feel like they changed something. But if you pay attention to the TV you see it was the plan all along.
