WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 Biggest Rumours

2. Daniel Bryan To Make A Shock Return?

I suppose we better be asking whether Bryan will ever wrestle another WWE match, let alone compete in the Royal Rumble. What we know for sure is that the former Intercontinental Champion will be in Pittsburgh for the World Of Wheels convention on Friday, where he is due to make an appearance. He's not in Pennsylvania for the medical check up some outlets reported earlier this week. Is the door ajar for a shock return? We also know what Bryan has flat-out rejected a number of offers from WWE to move into a different role away from the ring. These included being a Performance Center trainer or a commentator. He wants to get back into the ring, but will only do so if he's cleared by WWE's own doctor. Just today it was revealed that a third opinion came back stating Bryan was fit, healthy and ready to compete. However, WWE's Dr. Joseph Maroon, the only opinion that matters, has said no and WWE are still hesitant about clearing him considering his history. It would certainly be a HUGE shock to see ol' Goat Face back in a WWE ring this Sunday.
