If they're wanting to invest in a star to beat Brock, then it isn't Bryan. You don't have Brock Lesnar beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania and then go on to absolutely demolish the top star of the company to win the championship only to go on to lose to a guy no one believes could hold a candle to Lesnar in a fight and no one really knew when or if he'd ever wrestle again. WWE has backed themselves in a corner. You have a guy that shouldn't lose the title unless its legitimately to next top star. You have Bryan who is so over and everyone wants him to win the Rumble now. You've got to do something with Cena. I just don't think with Bryan having those very questionable neck issues that the best idea is to let him wrestle and actually beat Lesnar. I just wouldn't agree with it and I 100% would not enjoy it.

My guess is a match against a returning heel Sheamus. Exactly what they wanted last year.
I have absolutely no idea where or why people got the idea that Bryan's return means that Reigns is out of the picture. Seems like total wishful thinking to me. My guess is WWE is over their Daniel Bryan phase (which they never really wanted in the first place), and putting him anywhere near the main event of Wrestlemania isn't even something that is being considered.

Well the rumor that Reigns was potentially out of the main event predates Bryan's return last night. Common sense tells me you're spot on, but all of this information is predicated on Brock still being champion by Mania, which may not be the case if he's really not re-signing. Obviously, we'll know pretty much everything by the time the Rumble is over, but I definitely agree that WWE never wanted their Daniel Bryan phase. The catch to that is they just positioned him as the top babyface in the company again last night, possibly by accident not knowing what kind of reaction he'd get after the promo.

The catch to that is they just positioned him as the top babyface in the company again last night, possibly by accident not knowing what kind of reaction he'd get after the promo. Which has become pretty typical with Bryan. They treat him, no pun intended, as a "B+ player", and he exceeds expectations. Then they have the dilemma of whether or not they should go with the fans want to see or do what they want to do. I just don't see the fans swaying their hand two years in a row. For all intents and purposes, the crowd booked Wrestlemania last year. That's pretty unprecedented, and, regardless of how successful the show was, I don't think they liked it. As far as Reigns is concerned, it's so blatantly obvious that he's going to have every facet of the machine behind him. Which is totally fine, but I would hope that they see he's nowhere near ready. Let him organically develop as a character, a wrestler, and talker over the next year and give him his moment at Wrestlemania 32. There's no harm in waiting with him at this point. The risk of pulling the trigger now far outweighs the reward.

I like Dbry and all, but why should he win the rumble? We don't need him in the main event again at Mania...

Now that Bryan is back, Reigns is going to get the Batista treatment. The fans are going to boo the crap out of him. For some reason, when Daniel Bryan is around, the fans react to everyone else's push as if it was directly stolen from Daniel Bryan.

Rollins vs. Bryan and Reigns vs. Cena would be my picks. Throw in Sheamus vs. Lesnar and Sting vs. HHH and you have a damn good card.

I don't see Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble. If he were going to win it, he would have returned then with no announcement - I feel. Because in that scenario, they wouldn't allow the backlash to happen once again. However, with this, we can have his small build and once he gets screwed over, it won't be as bad as it would be if he returned at that event just to lose.

We just saw "Da vidniel vs. Goliath" last year with Bryan, and the way they've built things up, it's Reigns time to cement himself as a legitimate star.

Very happy Daniel Bryan is back.
I still expect Roman Reigns to win the Rumble though...maybe due to Authoritiy interference. Also, if Lesnar doesn't beat Cena then I'll choke myself. This most likely leads to:
WWE Championship - Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins Pre-Show: John Cena vs. Justin Gabriel

Anything other than facing Brock Lesnar in the main event would be disappointing and utterly ridiculous. I have a feeling you'll be disappointed

He's a great wrestler!

it has to be Bryan the crowd will crapon Regins if he wins.so that only leaves Ambrose and Ziggler. As options the crowd won't crapon

Actually I think its the total opposite. If they did not want backlash they would have sprung him in the Rumble as a surprise and had him eliminated. Now by announcing the return, and building it up for a few weeks, the fans are going to be behind Bryan and only Bryan 150%. My hope is that Cena beats Lesnar at the Rumble, and as Rollins is in the official cash in match, Ambrose interferes and costs Seth the match. In the Rumble, Rusev gets dumped by Reigns, and Rusev comes back in and eliminates Reigns. Doing that sets up: Daniel Bryan v. John Cena (WWE Title) Triple H v. Sting Brock Lesnar v. Randy Orton (No DQ) Dean Ambrose v. Seth Rollins (Grudge Match) Roman Reigns v. Rusev (US Title) Bray Wyatt v. Dolph Ziggler (IC Title) Pretty damn good line up if you ask me

Man, you guys have some damn good statements in this thread. And I'll go ahead and say mine. I won't say anything until after the Royal Rumble. I'm also surprised that the WWE is going to be doing it in a Philly area after how Batista had got treated by the fans. I wonder if the same thing will happen with Roman Reigns...

They shouldn't invest another Mania main event and possible title win in a guy who no one knows how his body will even hold up. Now you can say that anything can happen to anyone at anytime, but WWE doesn't think that way. All they see is a guy who will probably break down in a couple of years. They need to be investing in the future. Not Daniel Bryan.

WWE backed themselves into a corner with this. Bryan NEEDS to win the Royal Rumble and regain the championship at WrestleMania. Yes, he needs to. Doesn't matter if it's against Lesnar, Cena or Rollins. People thought the Royal Rumble debacle last year was bad? Sh*t is going to hit the mother ing ceiling if Reigns wins, and even more so if he eliminates Bryan. Philly is going to tear that mother er apart in that scenario.

At least this makes the Royal Rumble kind of unpredictable for once, reading some of the fantasy cards here makes me a happy camper none of you are in charge of the booking or writing, Lesnar has to and will be the main event, he just has to, do you really want the fact he broke the streak become pointless? Really? We all were upset/surprised it got broken in the first place, now you want that storyline to end with Lesnar being defeated by Cena/Rollins/Sheamus even before Wrestlemania? Talk about anticlimatic. The point some are trying to make is that Lesnar being defeated will be a huge deal, it will create a new star, Daniel already is a big name and I´ve no problem if he faces Lesnar but if you want new names, new top guys, someone else has to defeat Lesnar.
