5 WWE stars who deserved to win a Royal Rumble

#3 Daniel Bryan

He should have won in 2014.

While Daniel Bryan does not really have any standout Royal Rumble moments, aside from his 75-minute run in Saudi Arabia if that counts, the impact he has had on some past Rumble matches makes him somebody who should have won it at least once.

Bryan's momentum in 2014 called for a no-brainer victory at the Royal Rumble, as he was red hot as a babyface following the final stages of his program against Bray Wyatt.

A victory in the Rumble match that year would have served as vindication after a fall of disappointment at the hands of the Authority. He did not even enter the match, which ruined the final stages of it as well as Batista's eventual victory.

The Bryan effect returned the following year, with his early elimination ruining the entire second half of the 2015 Royal Rumble match. He honestly should have won a Rumble already, but WWE does have the chance to right this wrong in the coming years. Daniel Bryan still is massively over.
