Its just the timeline. I can see what you mean about HHH's pouty line going towards punk, but that supposedly happened before the meeting punk had with mcmahon causing the writers to finish the script just about air time. The only way they could have gone was to tag Bryan and punk. Nobody wants to see both of them get their asses kicked every week, but probably more want that than to see them wrestling eachother every week. Thats like the lightweight division that has endlessly failed. They let punk hold that title for a long time, it was his turn to play along and he took his tights and went home.
Punk vs HHH really made no sense. Bryan vs HHH for leaving him out of the rumble and any elimination chamber qualifiers, yes, yes, yes thats wrestlemania material.
Right now they put all their cards on orton and he is not really delivering, so they moved their bets to batista. Dave has a good power game, but he is not a show stopper, doesnt have the 25 minute match makeup, he is a destroyer that should basically rival goldberg for quickest pin. Magnum TA had that. When they are that kind of champ and end up trying to expand the matches to even 10 minutes is when they start to fail.
I've never been a fan of Wrestlemania matches being matches we've seen not too long ago. We've already seen HHH vs Punk about 2 years ago, and we saw Batista vs Orton the last time Batista was a face.
You're right that Bryan vs HHH would make the most sense for mania, and I'm not really digging a Bryan vs Sheamus match that's being rumored.
Regarding Batista, I probably would rather see him vs Reigns and maybe they do a double turn (a la Bret vs Stone Cold) with Reigns coming out a face at the end of the match and Batista as a heel.
