#4 Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan had an unfortunate and unlikely stinker with AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble, but he bounced back nicely with an early segment of the year candidate when he unveiled the NEW WWE Championship belt. The addition of Eric Rowan to his act as his silent heavy also helps.
AJ Styles took issue with all of this, and then Randy Orton, Mustafa Ali, Jeff Hardy, and Samoa Joe came out and voila - we have our men's Elimination Chamber match.

While that looks great, beyond it, things aren't as hot. Like Asuka, Daniel Bryan has no obvious, solid challenger as he heads into WrestleMania 35.
The AJ Styles feud has been done to death and nobody else stands out as a worthy opponent. He'll need to carry SmackDown's main event past the superstar shakeup, which is needed to refresh it. Fortunately, he's more than capable of doing so as he does some of the best work of his already storied career.
