When it was announced that Bryan would be competing in the Royal Rumble, fans were excited about his being a part of the match. As the match unfolded, Bryan was eliminated by Bray Wyatt. This was one of a number of competitors eliminated by Wyatt, but Bryan’s elimination was not only a disappointment, it went virtually unmentioned by those on commentary. It was stunning, considering how hyped up Bryan’s return had been. And his elimination happened at a point in the match when they were showing a replay of another elimination. There is no question that Bryan’s elimination was a resounding disappointment to fans watching. Bryan had to be considered a favorite going into the match based on fan popularity alone, but was not successful in the end.
