#1 Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan
More than any other WWE Superstar, Daniel Bryan deserves to win the Royal Rumble Match this year. Fans have been hoping to see Bryan win the match throughout his career, but WWE has always picked other competitors instead. Bryan's luck could change this year.
2021 marks Bryan's first Royal Rumble Match since his in-ring return in 2018. Naturally, many fans are predicting a victory for Bryan this year.
This accomplishment could be even more special if Bryan wins the match as its first entrant. He is no stranger to the Iron Man role, as he competed for over an hour in the Greatest Royal Rumble.
A victory in the 2021 Royal Rumble Match could kick-start a heated feud between Bryan and Roman Reigns. This rivalry could define the first half of 2021. Fans already love Bryan as an underdog, and a dynamic storyline with "The Tribal Chief" could rival his legendary conflict with The Authority.
