6. Daniel Bryan Returns
The status of Daniel Bryan is a continuing mystery, and this point will largely depend on circumstance, but if he is fit and able to return, then the Royal Rumble is the perfect spot to execute his comeback. He should be the shock number two entrant. Have a heel enter at number one (perhaps Sheamus), and then after a long pause in the ring, suddenly Bryan's music hits, creating one of the biggest pops of the night. It would be a sensational moment. Entering him early also gives WWE plenty of time to get him out of there, avoiding disappointment in the closing stages of the match. There's no way he's winning, as he's too much of a physical liability, so eliminating him after twenty minutes is the right thing to do. He can make his comeback, have a good showing and then lose in a way that sets up his first comeback programme.
