10 WWE Myths Fans Still Believe
3. WWE Predicted The Daniel Bryan Movement
Myth: WWE planned to have Daniel Bryan headline WrestleMania 30 all along, but knew that his crowning moment would be all the more special if they could convince all of the fans that they were going to get Orton versus Batista instead.
Reality: WWE penciled in Orton versus Batista for the headline match at WrestleMania 30, and planned for Bryan to be on the under-card, again (probably against Sheamus, again). The fans then got behind Bryan, poured cold water on Batista and forced the company to change its plans at the eleventh hour.
Honestly, it's not an outright impossibility that WWE planned the whole thing - and those who believe it are faithful rather than foolish - but it does seem very likely, given their track record.
