I have, over the last several hours, found and read several articles (easily accessible for your reading pleasure by googling Daniel Bryan) that are stating betting odds for Daniel Bryan winning the royal rumble went from 66/1 a week ago ( the same as Trump ) to 5/1 in the last day or so. The Rumor that is being circulated as reported by Bryan Alvarez states that the information comes from inside WWE itself. A member of the creative team pitched the idea of Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble and going on to have the most anticipated WWE championship match perhaps of all time. Quote from one of the articles "Daniel Bryan returning to New Orleans to - go with me - face AJ Styles for the WWE Championship would be enormous. It would, bottom line, make this WrestleMania. In one swoop, the PPV would go from obligatory to can't-miss. If everything lines up the way we'd like it to, Bryan would have gotten the word he was go to go and it's been kept a super-duper secret. He could then come out as #30 (remember the year he was left off the Rumble and everyone thought he'd be 30 but it was poor Rey?) and win it all and go for the gold." Obviously my heart is pounding for this to be true, but my reality check says...probably not gonna happen. However. if this is indeed true, WWE has just created the single biggest moment in the history of the Royal Rumble. and perhaps the biggest main event in ages. A Daniel Bryan return pop would literally cause the city of Philadelphia to explode lol. popculture.com/wwe/2018/01/18/daniel-bryan-win-royal-rumble-wwe-rumor/Thoughts? |

They'll probably play his music and have Damien Sandow come out dressed like Bryan, lol.
I'd be all for it, if he's medically cleared and there isn't any risk (any higher risk than anyone else who steps in the ring every night, that is...there's ALWAYS a risk).
I've wanted Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles to be the WWE Title match at WM34 for a while, almost as a gift to offset the impending crapfest of Lesnar/Reigns II....but I don't think WWE thinks Nakamura is a big enough draw to give a Rumble win, so Daniel Bryan would be the next best thing for me.....and you know damn well the match between Bryan and AJ would be potential match of the DECADE type stuff.
We'll see what happens.

This is probably one of those situations where if leaks didn't occur it would happen. But its leaked, so in WWE's minds, the shock value is gone as is the chances of happening.
Would have made sense given the storyline AJ Shane and Daniel are in.

Would have made sense given the storyline AJ Shane and Daniel are in. The news leaked last year that Orton was going to win and Bray Wyatt was winning the belt inside EC, and WWE didn't change any of that. I actually think WWE probably leaked this Daniel Bryan thing intentionally (if it's true) to try and drum up fan interest and hopefully spike Network subscriptions and PPV buys. WWE was the one who leaked that Sting was going to debut at Survivor Series 2015 48 hours before the actual event...I think Jim Ross confirmed this in one of his podcasts. And there was ZERO going on with Sting before that day, so it's not like anything on screen was hinting at it and it was an "easy guess", either. I hope it's true. |

I won't believe Bryan is wrestling again in WWE until I actually see him in the ring.
But if it were to happen, then yay.

If he wins and challenges AJ Styles for the WWE title at Wrestlemania, WWE will get it right for once.

I mean, yeah, that'd be crazy awesome. What a magical moment. But I will not hold my breath.

I'd be so happy for him. That'd be incredible. Winning the rumble a few years after he should have won it in the city he should have won it in.

that would be great the other main event is wasted with roman vs lesnar. i mean i dont care about that its so predictable so Daniel Bryan winning would be awesome. But I still dont think Vince would let this happen.

If Daniels music hits, I’ll guarantee you that the Miz comes out

Or Daniel wins the Rumble and then on Smackdown, Shane says how the general manager can’t just up and place himself in the Rumble and then win it. Shane then goes to strip Bryan of the match but Bryan says how he quits being GM. Daniel thinks Shane’s plan was just ruined but he instead puts Daniel in a match with the Wrestlemania title match on the line. Daniel loses due to Shane’s interference. Daniel vs Shane at Wrestlemania.

I'm trying not to buy into it, for fear of disappointment.

As long as Cena, Reigns, or Orton don't win, I will be happy. If Batista returned, he won, and they want to do Lesnar vs Batista instead of Lesnar vs Reigns, i would be all for that too. Daniel Bryan winning would be the best option though:)

I would like to see Daniel Bryan come back, but winning the Rumble would be ridiculous. Just have him continue to be a part of the compelling Shane vs Bryan storyline and culminate in a match!

I might be in the minority but I'd rather he didn't.
Never been a fan and would rather see someone else get the push.
Nothing against him but he's just not someone I feel is needed back- also no Shane either
