10 Shocks WWE Could Pull At Royal Rumble 2019

8. The Bar Somehow Retain Their SmackDown Tag Titles

Last year, The Bar were forced to play second fiddle to Braun Strowman's push and a 10-year old little boy becoming Tag-Team Champ. This time, they find themselves in a fairly similar position; Sheamus and Cesaro are going up against The Miz's push and a 'Boy Wonder' who apparently isn't turning heel anymore.

It'll be a bloody miracle if The Bar leave the Rumble with their SmackDown Tag Title reign intact.

The Miz and Shane-O will inevitably win the belts at some point, and it could be next Sunday. Their story is seemingly way more important than Sheamus and Cesaro, so expect the champs to play background noise to Miz and Shane's on/off partner deal.

Or, WWE's writers may believe it's too soon for the McMahon & Miz Connection to become champions, and they'll pen some miscommunication problems as an out. That'd only prolong the agony of fate. The Bar are dropping those titles sometime soon.
