WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Things WWE Must Do

10. Roman Reigns And John Cena Don't Win

First of all, we really hope that Vince McMahon and WWE resist the urge to play it safe and stick their championship belts back on John Cena and Roman Reigns before WrestleMania.

It's mind numbingly predictable and we'd much rather see WWE try something different going into their busiest period of the year. On Reigns' part, he's still struggling to connect with the majority of the audience under the bland babyface persona he's been given, and as talented as he is in the ring, a heel turn is desperately needed to get this guy over with the audience at large.

In a similar vein, we'd also like it if John Cena didn't win his 16th world championship at the Royal Rumble. Although it would be a big moment (and goodness knows WWE love breaking those records at the moment), it would also be a waste to take the belt off A.J. Styles so soon before WrestleMania, especially when he's had such a tremendous 12 months with the company. Having A.J. once again beat Cena (even if he does it via nefarious means) would be a huge statement of intent from WWE, and the story of A.J. retaining the WWE championship at the same event at which he made his debut the year prior would be a great one.

Our concern is that WWE may have desires to make the heavily rumoured 'Mania match between Cena and The Undertaker a title match, having Cena win here and a returning 'Taker winning the Rumble match itself. However, they should resist. That match doesn't need the title and A.J. deserves to go into WrestleMania as the champ.
