WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view is scheduled to take place in just under two weeks, and every arm-chair booker in the universe thinks that they have the believed-to-be staid WWE booking for the event figured out. The winner will either be Roman Reigns or Daniel Bryan, and they will wrestle either John Cena, Seth Rollins or Brock Lesnar for the championship at Wrestlemania. But let's say things are not that easy (because let's be honest, booking is hard work, and nothing is ever as easy as it seems) What are the possible swerves in WWE's booking that can take place? And, moreover, if they take place, what does that mean for Wrestlemania. There's certainly also more than two possibilities for Royal Rumble winners, too. There are 30 entrants in the Rumble, and on more than one occasion, WWE has shown themselves adept at making last-second moves with their company booking in order to get to the desired matches they'd ideally like to see contested at the event. Thus, limiting the number of possible winners to just two names is absolutely absurd in that it actually limits the potential for entertainment out of the event itself. If any of these ten finishes occur, it will certainly shake up what is correctly considered a sometimes quite boring at-present WWE product. Will they? That's why we have to tune in.
