10 Booking Steps For Daniel Bryan Vs Brock Lesnar At WrestleMania 31

5. Bryan Is the 30th Entrant To The Royal Rumble

One of the most disappointing moments of 2014 came when the 30th Royal Rumble entrant was revealed to be the legendary Rey Mysterio Jnr. Fans were baying to see Daniel Bryan in the Rumble, and it was at this moment that it became clear that, at that time, Vince McMahon had no intention of pushing the bearded wonder-worker to main event Mania status. Going into next year's Rumble, it would be perfect if the assumed injured Bryan could surprise everyone by carrying his still wrecked body into the Rumble at the last minute and, you guessed it, going on to win the damn thing. Almost in tears after the bell, a jubilant and physically suffering Bryan would have an emotional moment in the middle of the ring, embracing his loving wife and closest confidant, Brie.
