8. Daniel Bryan
Having been tipped by many to win the 2015 Royal Rumble match, Daniel Bryan didnt stick around very long before being eliminated by Bray Wyatt. However, at odds of 10/1 bookmakers consider him a legitimate contender to right the wrong that many fans believe occurred when he didnt win the match this year, by winning it in 2016. Reasons he should win The reasons Bryan should win are fairly obvious. Hes arguably still the most popular Superstar in the WWE despite the fact he hasnt wrestled for several months. Hes already shown that he can main event WrestleMania and leave the crowd fully satisfied with his win at WrestleMania XXX. His in-ring skills are among the best in the business and, most importantly, the fans would absolutely love to see him win. Reasons he shouldnt win This can be summed up in one word; Injuries. Its been strongly rumoured in the past that WWE have denied Bryan the opportunity to claim a number of big wins in recent times (including possibly even winning this years Royal Rumble match) on the basis that he is too injury-prone, so letting him win the 2016 Rumble match might once again be considered too much of a risk.
