WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Shocks That Could Happen

10. Bayley Beats Charlotte

On Monday's Raw, Bayley defeated Nia Jax to claim a shot at the Raw Women's Championship. That means that she'll be taking on Charlotte Flair at the Royal Rumble with the belt on the line.

The match will undoubtedly be a good one. The women's divisions on both shows have come so far in the past year, with Charlotte and Sasha Banks especially making Raw's Women's Championship feel like a truly important prize. Bayley has the talent to continue the string of great matches, but that said, nobody really expects her to win. The Raw Women's Championship has changed hands a lot over the past several months, but it seems like it's time for some stability, at least until WrestleMania.

That said, most fans didn't expect the title to change at Hell in a Cell or Roadblock (and it shouldn't have), but it did, so anything's possible. Giving Bayley the win here would be a surprise, but it would also set up rematch that could kill time until WrestleMania. Don't count it out.
