#3 Daniel Bryan
At times in his career, Daniel Bryan always seemed to be treated like a B+ player. Coming back to WWE to compete after retirement due to injury was one of the most inspirational things that a WWE Superstar could do.
Becoming a WWE Champion again and also becoming one of the best heels in the company, it is certainly surprising that he has never won the WWE Royal Rumble. Despite that, his match with Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35 was one of the PPV's most emotionally packed moments.
#2 Chris Jericho
If there was one wrestler who had a great 2019, it was Chris Jericho. He is currently one of the best World Champions in the business and it's not even for WWE. The man who was the first WWE Undisputed Champion never won the Royal Rumble himself, despite being in it numerous times.
Like a couple of others, he was on the receiving end as he lost the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 18 to Triple H, who won the 2002 Royal Rumble.
