I saw both now. Since Taven was there during the Armageddon, then he actually defeated Raiden, because Raiden fought Shinnok in Armageddon. So the fight actually took place, and Raiden's defeat in the hands of Taven led to Armageddon. That means that either Taven was taken out by Scorpion, Daegon or Blaze, or he actually gave up the prize of becoming the God of Edenia.

I THINK I GOT IT!!! If Taven was defeated by Raiden, he would have never be able to fight Daegon for the prize. It was the fight between Taven and Daegon that would cause Blaze's powers to increase to his boss level, if Taven wasn't there, Blaze wouldn't have his powers increased to his monster level, so no one would have to fight for his power, and Armageddon would not happen. In the end, it was the attempt to prevent Armageddon that causet it.
