The WWE Royal Rumble 2020 Confrontation We REALLY Want To See
The Power of Parkour.
Kofi Kingston has rightly received plaudits over the years for his creative Royal Rumble elimination escapes, but now John Morrison has returned to take his crown back.
Weirdly, nobody is talking about this.
JoMo and The Miz are lined up as potential SmackDown Tag-Team Title challengers for Kofi and Big E of New Day on Friday nights, and there's still a chance WWE will add that match to the Rumble card before 26 January in Houston. Even if they don't, fans should still expect all four to take part in the 30-man Rumble match.
There, WWE can add some sizzle to the situation by having Kingston and Morrison pull off daring "top this" stunts that prevent elimination. A greatest hits compilation of Kofi's best (like using JBL's chair in 2013 or his handstand in 2012) and Morrison's parkour antics from 2011 would go down a treat in the match.
After all that, both men could eliminate one another at the same time and bicker or brawl their way back towards the curtain.
Seeing Kofi and JoMo attempt to outdo one another with survival bids would feel special and give the 2020 Rumble another spot to work with. Fans would also appreciate the nod towards Morrison's ingenuity and the fact Kofi took over from him.
