Top 5 WWE Rumors of the Week - January 22nd, 2018

#1 Daniel Bryan will return to the ring - and might win the Royal Rumble

Daniel Bryan could be the biggest surprise of Royal Rumble weekend

Whether you put stock in betting odds or not, you cannot argue that when it comes to predicting outcome in WWE matches, they have been fairly accurate in the past. However, when those same odds skyrocket someone like Daniel Bryan to the third favourite spot for winning the Royal Rumble, I don't blame people for being cautious.

But that's exactly what happened. Bryan went from 66/1 to 4/1 to win the Royal Rumble, with only Shinsuke Nakamura and Roman Reigns ahead of him as more likely Superstars, this is despite him 'not being cleared to compete'

To make things more interesting, one of the betting sites that is tracking the odds for the Royal Rumble confirmed that they had in fact received information from a source that Daniel Bryan was returning to the ring as a result of his current storyline with Shane McMahon and that's why the odds had changed.
