Backstage news on the absence of Daniel Bryan from Royal Rumble

Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan: Although the negative fan reaction at the Royal Rumble due to the absence of Daniel Bryan was not planned by the WWE, but him missing out on the Royal Rumble main event is part of his storyline.

The storyline suggests that he’s required to overcome “the machine”, which wants to hold him down. WWE officials are behind the idea, that the fans be outraged by the absence of Bryan and that he isn’t being pushed more.
