Smileys always = joke ffsWWE losing 300M had nothing to do with who's champion, It was about the NBC TV deal.
Giving Triple H, Orton, or Batista would be the absolute worst decisions. Orton is boring as fuck and sucks any energy out of the crowd. Batista has bad heat, not good heat, and giving Triple H another world title run just to be a transitional champion is stupid as hell. Cena winning it would just discredit this entire Wyatt feud, which has been awesome.
That leaves WWE having to take a chance on a new guy. Or Kane. Kane is a great person to be a transitional champion, and can just drop it back to Bryan in a couple months, but I think Kane is leaving soon too for his new movie.
Secondly, Batista being the champ would be fine, unlike Orton, crowds actually give a shit enough to actually boo him. Triple H is the biggest heel in the company so having as champion means the same thing. Both are perfect options. Putting the title on someone not entrenched in the mainevent would be terrible, it kills the title and makes sure it wouldn't be the last match on PPVs. Secondly, putting on some new guy has everyone comparing that new guy to Bryan and it certainly doesn't do that guy any favours.
Who said Orton? Anybody?
