1. The Fiend Drops The Universal Championship, Kane Returns
The months long rivalry between Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt is at its hottest point with both men heading into a Strap match for the Universal Championship tonight at the Royal Rumble 2020 pay-per-view.
Although Bryan’s win looks almost impossible, WWE could pull a shocker and give Bryan the win tonight.
He’s arguably the only wrestler who has been getting the most offense against The Fiend in all of his rivalries. For the first time since The Fiend’s debut, he retreated while attacking someone.
The Strap match stipulation could also be a game-changing one for Bryan. As one of the hands of The Fiend would be tied to Bryan in the match, he may face difficulties in locking the Mandible Claw. Due to the stipulation, The Fiend can be protected and Bryan can just win without pinning or submitting him.
WWE could also go with an angle where Kane returns to help Bryan due to The Fiend trying to pick up a fight with him. The Big Red Machine could cost him the Universal Title this way.
Even if he doesn’t return during the match, Kane could have a face-off with The Fiend after the match to set up a future bout between them.
