10 Ways WWE Is Burying Daniel Bryan

By Ross Tweddell /

7. Royal Rumble 2015 Debacle

Arguably a bigger problem than Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble was the amount of time Daniel Bryan was afforded in the event. 10 minutes 36 seconds. One elimination to his name. Given what had happened the previous year, and the fact this was his return to the big stage after a career threatening injury, to see Bryan being unceremoniously dumped out the match with a whimper left a bitter taste in the mouth. This isn't a clamour for Bryan to have won the match outright, but Vince McMahon claims he listens to the fans and gives them exactly what they want, something he didn't deliver here. He obviously missed the 2014 Rumble then. Disastrous booking all round.
