10 Shocks You Could See At WWE Royal Rumble 2017
6. Sami Zayn Winning The Royal Rumble
It's unlikely, as Zayn finds himself behind a whole host of more-fancied competitors (Undertaker, Goldberg, Strowman, Balor, Jericho, etc.), but the 'Underdog from the Underground' could well pull off a miracle and propel himself into a WrestleMania title match.
Earlier this week, Triple H hinted the Rumble would have a result that many don't see coming - and a Zayn victory would certainly fit the bill. Assuming he would go onto challenge for the Universal Championship, Sami has a pair of compelling potential opponents in the form of Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.
KO and Sami have, of course, waged war on a number of occasions, while Reigns would be the perfect counterpoint in a Daniel Bryan-esque "wrestler vs. superstar" storyline.
Also, it would just make everyone really bloody happy. So it probably won't happen.
