As much as I'm with Simple Fan on the idea that Bryan was overpushed, once they teased it as much as they did, they definitely had to go with him winning at Mania. You just can't tease him winning the title that much without the payoff.
That being said, they shouldn't have teased it so much in the first place. Problem would have been solved before it ever began. No one's gonna "hold the show hostage" about Bryan only being involved in a hot mid-upper midcard/IC Title program unless you fuck around and give the audience the idea of him winning the world title repeatedly. Hell, Batista probably would have been accepted if they didn't spend months building a Daniel Bryan underdog story.
