WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 Worst Possible Outcomes

5. AJ Styles Does A Daniel Bryan

That's if AJ Styles is even in the match at all, of course. If he is, then WWE need to have him make a debut to remember. Yes, he'll be over with the Orlando crowd, having wrestled in the area for TNA for many years, but he'll be introducing himself to a new audience on the WWE Network who might not have seen him work before. WWE can't give him the treatment they gave to Daniel Bryan twelve months ago. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion entered at number 15 last year, and was out 10 minutes and 36 seconds later, unceremoniously hurled off the apron by Bray Wyatt. This was the straw that broke the camel's back with the Philly crowd - and WWE Universe in general - after Bryan was inexplicably left out of the Rumble altogether in 2014. Who could forget the way Rey Mysterio got booed when everyone thought D-Bry was going to enter at number 30? Bryan was expected to win last year's event, but came nowhere near and while Styles might not come anywhere close to winning on Sunday (if he's included), he needs to have a good, long showing with plenty of opportunities to shine. Not ten minutes and a poor elimination that just p*sses everyone off.
