5 Biggest current WWE Superstars who never won the Royal Rumble

#4 Daniel Bryan

Many among the WWE Universe remember the 2014 Royal Rumble match, which didn't feature Daniel Bryan. He was white-hot at the time and the fans were beyond angry when the last entrant was revealed as Rey Mysterio. This was one of those incredibly rare occasions when Mysterio got booed out of the building. Bryan entered the match in 2015 and was eliminated by Bray Wyatt. His elimination was met with stunned silence from the fans inside the arena, and they booed the remainder of the match till the very end.

Daniel Bryan's absence in the 2014 Royal Rumble match angered fans to no end

Batista was the victor that night, and he was heavily booed by the fans. Bryan did well for himself when it came to being a main event player though, as he headlined and won the main event of WrestleMania XXX in 2014. Bryan is now a dad and would understandably want to spend as much time as he wants with his family, so it won't be a stretch to assume that he could finish off his career without a Royal Rumble win.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
