From @RcRyderOrRiot: If Daniel Bryan isn't back until the Royal Rumble does WWE go with the feel good story again and have him win Rumble and WWE Title at Mania?
It's a nice thought, but it's very doubtful that it would happen like that. While a Bryan return at the Royal Rumble would be awesome, they'll likely use that to set up a storyline for WrestleMania for him. The likely Royal Rumble winner is Roman Reigns. After seeing him finish as the runner up this year it's obvious that WWE is going to do big things with him next year. They're keeping him busy now by having him feud with Triple H and Randy Orton, but come 2015 he'll be pushed as the next big WWE star. Bryan's moment was WrestleMania 30. It seems unlikely that it's going to happen again next year.
