5 Potential Ironmen For WWE Royal Rumble 2021

5. John Morrison

So The Miz has the briefcase back, for one of two reasons. Either WWE wants to have him make history by failing twice with the same briefcase (an insult to the brilliant work he's been doing for the last few years), or they are going to pull the trigger and put the belt on Miz once more, over a decade after his first world title victory.

Either option leaves the door open for the breakup of Miz and Morrison, and just maybe, a WWE title reign for JoMo. Morrison was the prototype Kofi Kingston when it came to Rumble spots; he can put in a similar performance to WrestleMania 36 that gets the (virtual) fans on their feet despite his heelish tendencies.

A near-babyface showing would be planting a little nugget in our heads, making Miz' cash-in more of a possibility with the option of a feud for the belt with his best bud, while teasing that breakdown in relations that we all know has to come at some point. Some might say Morrison has missed the boat when it comes to WWE world championships but he's putting on some of the most entertaining performances in the company right now, and would still be a feel-good first-time champ.
