#9 Daniel Bryan does not return
What We Know: Daniel Bryan has not wrestled for the WWE since he vacated his IC title way back in 2015. His last match saw him teaming with John Cena against Tyson Kidd and Cesaro. Since then he has become Smackdown's general manager and is currently in a feud with Shane McMahon.
What Will Happen: Daniel Bryan will not return to the ring in Royal Rumble.
Why: Despite the betting odds saying otherwise and every dirt-sheet website predicting it, I just don't see it happening. If Daniel Bryan was going to wrestle for the WWE, I feel like that time would have happened already. It's been nearly three years since he has wrestled and there has been no indication that he has started training to make a return. Sorry WWE Universe, but Daniel Bryan is not coming back anytime soon.
