ARGH!

Daniel Bryan must be considered one of the favourites to win the whole thing and secure himself a slot at WrestleMania 37. The unrivalled workhorse has never won a Rumble before either, so it'd make sense. Of course, that means he's going to get eliminated by Jey Uso or Bobby Lashley within five minutes.

A shiver just ran up your spine, didn't it? Same here. It'd be rather crap for Dan to get ousted so quickly in what could realistically be his final Royal Rumble as a WWE full-timer. Pro wrestling isn't the be all and end all for Dan in 2021 (family is), meaning this could actually be his last shot at 30-man glory.

What if WWE want to wait for that seemingly-inevitable match with Roman Reigns and have it earmarked for after 'Mania? That's why Uso was named first there. He could toss Bryan out of the match and then keep him busy whilst the 'Tribal Chief' goes to war with someone else this spring.

No, you stop sobbing.
