Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles are set to clash once more with the WWE Championship on the line. The pair have clashed frequently over the last few months and their bouts are always rewarding. However, one must expect that this 'Rumble clash will be the last in their series.
So, who will come out of the feud on top? Well, Styles reigned for over one year as champion between November 2017 and November 2018 before he was dethroned by Bryan.

Bryan is now in his fourth reign as WWE Champion and amazingly this is his longest run with the belt. I expect it to continue, at least until Wrestlemania.
Bryan's new heel persona that he has worn since November 13, 2018, has been an unmitigated triumph. The habit-bashing, morally superior Bryan has talked up a storm with electrifying promo's and produced typically sterling in-ring work in bouts with Styles, Brock Lesnar, and Mustafa Ali.
Bryan is one of the hottest commodities in the company right now and it would not be constructive for WWE to risk his momentum by having him lose the strap right now.
AJ Styles' recent interactions with Vince McMahon hint at a potential attitude adjustment in his future that would suggest a title run is not imminent. Plus, he is rumoured to be facing Randy Orton at Wrestlemania. That is unlikely to be a title programme.
So, expect Bryan and Styles to contest an incredibly entertaining match-up full of electric near falls but the winner should never be in doubt.
The WWE Champion will successfully defend his title at the Royal Rumble and move onto a fresh opponent at Wrestlemania.
Prediction: Daniel Bryan
