"Alberto Del Rio was not originally planned to win the Royal Rumble.
Things would have been a lot different had management not changed their mind about Alberto Del Rio.
The second generation star was not originally scripted to win the Royal Rumble. Del Rio was actually scripted to win the World Heavyweight Championship at the event.
Del Rio needed to be built up a little bit more before being handed the world title. Having a Royal Rumble victory underneath his belt goes a long way towards his credibility with the internet wrestling community. WWE also felt that the title win would be much more of an impact if it was done at Wrestlemania instead.
As of this moment, Del Rio is currently scheduled to capture the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania from Edge."
I really think that him winning The Royal Rumble was definitely a better option than having him win the title on the event. This builds him up a bit more.
