Also, I think it's pretty much accepted that they weren't building to Bryan winning the World Title at Mania. Doesn't he say as much himself in a WWE produced interview?
Or is "we had Bryan lined up to face Sheamus until Punk walked and Batista failed to get over as a face and we had to scramble to put something together" part of the story?

I think a lot of ideas were up in the air, but if you watch the TV in the months leading to Mania, the central storyline was HHH driving it home that Bryan was above average but not good enough to be champion. The logical conclusion to that would be Bryan overcoming the odds.
But i guess some guy in catering told one of the dirt sheet writers it was all leading to Sheamus vs Bryan, and that's what we'll believe to be true. But ya know, plans change, just in case we got the story completely wrong.
