9. Jack Swagger Costs Del Rio Semi Final
In the other semi final on the show, Alberto Del Rio faces Roman Reigns to see who will advance to the WWE Title tournament final. As things stand, it's impossible to imagine anyone other than Reigns taking a slot in that match. After all, he has been the big story heading into the event, and he was originally supposed to clash with Seth Rollins on the PPV anyway. WWE may wish to book a simple babyface victory for Reigns in the semi final, but there is another way they could play things out. In the midst of the ongoing tournament, Jack Swagger has once again turned into the forgotten man on the roster. It had seemed like he was next in line to challenge Del Rio for the United States Title. That could still happen, and here's how to fire the feud back to the forefront. Swagger could be booked to cost Del Rio his chance at the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Naturally, this would enrage the Mexican beyond belief, rebooting their rivalry in the process. Hardly anybody would be expecting this, because it makes sense that WWE would want Roman Reigns to look strong and win cleanly.
