Royal Rumble 2021: 5 Superstars who desperately need to win – Revenge after 4 years, former WWE Champion to claim big win?

#2 Daniel Bryan (Men’s Royal Rumble)

Daniel Bryan will look to pick his first Royal rumble victory this year

Ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble, WWE has refrained from portraying anyone as clear favorites to win the men's and women’s Rumble matches. That said, a few Superstars have a higher chance of emerging victorious, and Daniel Bryan tops that list. The four-time WWE Champion has managed to gain a lot of momentum in recent weeks.

His match against Cesaro on WWE SmackDown had the entire WWE Universe talking. Bryan is a great performer and would post a credible threat to the world championships if he ends up winning the men’s Royal Rumble match. He has never won this match before and will look forward to making the most of this opportunity.

Daniel Bryan will make for an exciting challenger if he decides to pick Roman Reigns. After all, he was the first Superstar to be brutalized by Reigns and Jey Uso on SmackDown. While Bryan has already claimed his redemption against Jey Uso, he is yet to settle the score with Reigns. Even if he doesn’t win the match, fans would like to see him deliver a huge performance in the Royal Rumble match.
