WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 WWE Superstars Who Could Win

3. Daniel Bryan

If you really didn't think that WWE was holding off on bringing back Daniel Bryan until they can get some Network buys out of hyping his return at the Royal Rumble, I have a bridge to Brooklyn I can sell you, too. Perhaps a year too late, booking Daniel Bryan versus either Seth Rollins or Brock Lesnar is actually the one Wrestlemania main event that, no matter how potentially dangerous it is to D-Bry's heath, that the fans want to see. The one thing Daniel Bryan hasn't done yet is win the Royal Rumble. If anything, Bryan's failures to win the match over the past two years could convince Vince and company to pull the trigger now. WWE creative is totally a beat off when it comes to satisfying the wishes and hopes of WWE fans, so this actually wouldn't be surprising at all if it were to occur.
