WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has posted a new blog update on Facebook discussing his “wish” for Sunday’s WWE Royal Rumble event. Foley says Daniel Bryan winning the Rumble and going on to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is the best possible scenario for WWE, and frankly, we couldn’t agree more. Foley wrote:

“Quite simply, I want to see Daniel Bryan win the Rumble, so that Paul Heyman can take the reigns and dazzle us with promos which will make Bryan vs Lesnar the greatest David vs Goliath story in recent memory. The Authority can put their stamp on some other match on the card but I would love to see the WWE World Heavyweight championship be about the GUYS IN THE MATCH- and not about who is in power in the company.”

After returning to action last week for the first time in nearly a year, Foley says Bryan is the perfect underdog opponent to challenge the unstoppable force that is Brock Lesnar.

“At Wrestlemania, I would like to see Daniel Bryan systematically chip away at that wall, knock it down, and give the WWE universe a victory they can savor…and more importantly, look forward to. The best present is the one that sits under the tree, neatly wrapped, ready to be torn into on Christmas Day. There’s no need to overthink it. Tie it up in a bow with a Bryan victory at the Rumble, and let us all start counting down the days until we get to open it.”
