#5 Rowan replacement
At the Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan retained the WWE Championship by the skin of his teeth, with a big, though bizarre assist by Rowan.
Since then, the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion has appeared regularly alongside Bryan, and will presumably be a factor going into WrestleMania.
But despite this being a huge step-up for Rowan, who suffered an injury in mid-2018, the near 7-footer wasn't the first pick as Bryan's right-hand man.
According to the Wade Keller Podcast, this role was originally intended for NXT's Lars Sullivan, who was announced as a graduate to the main roster during the Christmas Eve RAW.
Sullivan reportedly suffered an anxiety attack not long before his main roster debut, as the company has opted to let Sullivan get mentally prepared for the move.
