2. Cody Rhodes = Mr. MITB?!

Meanwhile, Mr. Rhodes may well need to free up some space in his luggage for that garish Money In The Bank briefcase. That pay-per-view happens in the UK on 1 July. Sure, there are two PLEs before it (Backlash and King & Queen Of The Ring), but Cody's gaze might be focused on London.

The Rumble winner was heavily pushed for the same show last year, but injuries ruled him out of MITB and Austin Theory ended up getting the nod instead. Better late than never? Plus, Cody now has another chapter of his story to tell. He'll have to pick himself up following the crushing disappointment of losing to Roman in 'Mania's headliner.

Seizing the briefcase and making it clear that he's coming for another crack at Reigns would go some way towards personal redemption. There'd be a twist though, because Rhodes wouldn't be looking to become Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

Nah, he'd have something more specific on his mind...
