- WWE did not intend to give Rey Mysterio a title shot when he won the Royal Rumble. The plan from the beginning was for Mysterio to lose his shot at the title in a match with Randy Orton, so that the original plans for the WrestleMania 22 main-events would remain intact: Triple H vs. John Cena and Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton.
Randy Orton is expected to win his match against Mysterio this Sunday at No Way Out, but there are reports going around that there is some push for Mysterio to win backstage. Many wrestlers disagreed with WWE's decision to let Mysterio win the Royal Rumble, and taking away his title shot would be an even worse decision.
One idea being thrown around backstage is that Mysterio should win so that there would be a triple-threat match at WrestleMania, and it would assure the Rumble winner gets his title shot.
