7 Biggest Missed Opportunities From WWE Royal Rumble 2019

7. Bray Wyatt, Where Are You?

One superstar that many of us thought might make a return at the Rumble was Bray Wyatt. The 'Eater of Worlds' last significant storyline saw him feud, and eventually team, with Matt Hardy, but since the pair lost the Raw Tag Team Championships to the B-Team, he hasn't been involved in anything of significance. In fact, he hasn't even been featured on WWE TV since last summer.

Due to a series of bad booking decisions and repetitive storylines, Wyatt had a reputation for going stale rather quickly, so it made sense that, following another defeat, the creative team thought it best to keep him off TV for a little while - essentially giving fans a chance to miss him. However, it's been long enough, and an impromptu return at the Rumble would have been a great way to reintroduce him.

Despite some of his questionable storylines, the character has always remained an alluring and mysterious presence. So, having him show up unexpectedly in the midst of the Rumble match would have been a memorable moment that would have undoubtedly received a great reaction from the tired crowd. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
