WWE Royal Rumble 2011 Roster: Where Are They Now?
38. Daniel Bryan
Then: Everyone could see that Daniel Bryan was a pro wrestling machine back in 2011. He hadn't quite found his feet in the company though, and wouldn't until fan support swelled to the point that WWE couldn't ignore it. In 2011, he was your typical midcard babyface.
Now: Bryan is a bonafide WWE legend and defied doctors to return from retirement in 2018. Since then, he has quietly gone about the task of working excellent match after excellent match - one gets the impression his full-time career is winding down, but D-Bry remains awesome.
