7. Shayna Baszler Doesn't Wait

The logical assumption would be that WWE will show at least some patience for the Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler story. Some squash wins for Shayna might come on Raw before the match is even set up, or maybe Lynch will identify the MMA destroyer as her next major hurdle.

Baszler isn't the kind of character to kick her heels.

It'd give the Rumble a nice non-wrestling moment if she capitalised on Becky's disappointment over the Asuka situation, attacked from behind and choked 'The Man' out. Then, Shayna could grab Becky's popular t-shirt, drape it over her shoulder and intimate than she's the alpha woman.

Boom, WrestleMania would be set. Of course, most probably expect WWE to book this kind of thing on Raw rather than at the Rumble on pay-per-view, because more eyes will theoretically be on it there (and they can monetise the clip on YouTube), but again, don't count it out.
