The Original Planned Finish For WrestleMania XXX

Dave Batista was originally scheduled to win the WWE title at WrestleMania, according to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer radio show.

As far as Batista taking time off, it's been reported that he's not listed on advertisements after Extreme Rules. The original idea was that he was going to be working through July or August so perhaps his media schedule changed or he could have gotten another movie role but no one knows for sure. He's not advertised anywhere including the European tour.

Thank god that never happened

Anyone with working brain cells knew this was the plan going in, they wouldnt of had him win the Rumble for nothing. People not wanting it and wanting Bryan instead is what caused them to change it.
