#5 Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan had walked through the curtain at Wrestlemania 28 knowing two things; he would lose his World Title to Sheamus and it would happen in an outrageous 18 seconds. But what Daniel Bryan would not imagine that hopping to the ring and thrusting his hands up in the air, would slowly make him the hottest babyface in wrestling.
From there on out, "the yes man’s" repeated failures in WWE were meant to bury him and his scorching hot rise. However, the WWE Universe’s consistent determination to see “the American dragon” to the top had toppled any Wrestlemania plans without the beloved baby-face. The yes movement made the company alter their main event plans and Daniel Bryan had finally become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. However, “the miracle of Bourbon Street” wouldn’t last long.

Bryan’s legendary wrestling career had come to an unfortunate halt as the wear and tear factor of wrestling for more than 17 years had resulted in an injury to the former World Champion. Delivering a passionate retirement speech on Raw back in 2016, Bryan was grateful for his time in the business and had supposedly hung up his boots. Almost 2 years later and the speculation of Bryan's return to the squared circle is a hotly debated topic.
Over the past few years, Bryan’s involvement in the Royal Rumble was controversial. Daniel Bryan entering the 2018 Royal Rumble at number 30 would set up an interesting dynamic on the road to "the show of shows".
Bryan has stated in a recent interview that if he does not wrestle with Wrestlemania 34 he will leave WWE once and for all. Whether "The American Dragon" faces Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles or Shane McMahon at Wrestlemania 34, “the yes man's” megastar presence can once again force WWE to alter their Wrestlemania plans.
The only thing bigger than any of these returns on this list would be if a certain Best in the World decided to make the comeback of the decade at the Rumble. Wishful thinking? Never say never!
