14 Burning Questions For WWE Royal Rumble 2016

11. Can Kalisto Win The Rubber Match?

WWE had an opportunity to create a new star a couple weeks ago when Kalisto surprisingly won the United States Championship on Raw. Not many would expect someone who is in a mid-card tag team to suddenly receive a title shot and actually win. So when Kalisto emerged victorious, it was a huge deal. But then the WWE creative team pulled its favorite gimmick, 50/50 booking. Alberto Del Rio immediately challenged for his title on Smackdown and won the U.S. title back, ending Kalisto€™s reign at three days (or one day, if you look at when Smackdown was taped). This then set up the creative team€™s other favorite tool: the rubber match.Conceivably, the U.S. title could swap hands yet again on Sunday. The question is, can Kalisto pull it off? Del Rio winning effectively puts a fork in Kalisto€™s singles push (at least for now), whereas Kalisto winning could help spark some credibility for the masked luchador in one-on-one competition. Which way will it go?
