10 Reasons Lesnar Vs Cena Vs Rollins Will Rule The Royal Rumble

3. The Shock Factor

Could you imagine? The Royal Rumble is renowned for its shocking returns that sees nostalgia pulsating through the arena. However, this shock invariably runs out a few minutes later when the returning star is dumped over the top rope. Rollins winning the belt would trump any shock the Rumble could realistically produce. Only The Ultimate Warrior (RIP) coming back to win the 30 man event could provoke a more shocking reaction. Rollins has been given little chance by the masses in this his first official WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. The fact he is the Money In The Bank briefcase holder may count against him, it would be interesting to see how he could juggle both. Maybe WWE could throw the ultimate curveball finish where a knocked out Cena flops on top of a knocked out Lesnar for the pin to win the belt while Rollins is sprawled out on the outside. Once the MITB holder realises what's happened, he crawls back in the ring, cashes in the briefcase and drapes his arm over the new champion to claim the belt for himself. I've just proved there that WWE would have a monumental task on their hands if they were to give the belt to Rollins on Sunday. But he's in the match so can't be counted out. He has proved that he is more ready to be the 'face of the company' more than his former Shield brethren Reigns is.
