With Daniel Bryan being established as the best challenger for Roman Reigns for WrestleMania, nobody on SmackDown might have a better chance of winning the Royal Rumble than him. That being said, there is a possibility that the Rumble winner comes from RAW.

However, considering the stark difference between both shows, it is likely that at least one of the Royal Rumble winners will come from SmackDown. The Blue brand just feels like an extremely well-written show at the moment. SmackDown might have their plans for WrestleMania in order, at least to a greater degree than RAW.

The Red brand's shows seem very hastily written every week. RAW also feels like a slog to get through at times, with several storylines giving off the idea that there may not be a proper long-term plan for the direction of the show. There are ten weeks - and two pay-per-views - between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.

As a result, RAW's direction might change multiple times on the Road to WrestleMania. On the other hand, SmackDown might have created a much more coherent main event scene. The show flows well and everything has a purpose, which might suggest that the long-term plans for the FOX product are in order.

As a result, Daniel Bryan could win the 2021 Royal Rumble Match and confirm a date with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, while WWE may finalize Drew McIntyre's opponent for the WWE Championship a bit closer to the big event.
