I think they just had to come up with something to take the game series in a new direction. Armageddon seemed pretty definite, so the new take would allow a new beginning. However i would think since this series has plenty of other wicked plot decisions, them "writing" the mistakes of the new timeline at some point is also possible. Or having a new character show up and screw up the timeline more for his own joy.

I suppose the most simple soultion if they wanted to go back and re-do armageddon with better results would be for New Old-Fujin to send a message to his past self to go tell then-young Raiden not to listen to his old-future-self's screwed up message! Oh boy that is one mess of a statement.

However evil Liu Kang could be an interesting boss.
