#2 WWE Champion - AJ Styles
Daniel Bryan is scheduled to defend his WWE Championship against AJ Styles next week at the Royal Rumble PPV. Styles earned an opportunity at Bryan's title when he won the fatal-five-way match a few weeks ago on SmackDown Live.
Moreover, in the last three months, Styles has tried to regain the WWE title from Bryan on several occasions, but unfortunately, "The Phenomenal One" has failed to do so.
That being said, this new-found attitude of Styles might make him a three-time WWE Champion as Vince McMahon in recent weeks has teased a heel turn for Styles. And in order to capitalize on Styles' character change, WWE needs to make him win his match at Royal Rumble.
Considering this, WWE could pull out Styles' heel turn at Rumble, and if this happens then it'd make this title change a real big deal. Also, if the same happens, we will see Styles turning heel after more than two-years.
Therefore, you can expect Bryan to lose his title at Rumble to Styles.
