3. Get The Surprise Returns Right
Nobody wants to see The Boogeyman return this year. Not even JBL, and he loves it, Maggle! Let's get some of the big names back into the ring. So far, Razor Ramon and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts have been talked about as strong possibilites on the old internet, while Shawn Michaels reportedly turned down the chance to step into a Rumble one more time. This is a strange Rumble to book for WWE in terms of the talent they have available. 2016 certainly looks like being the year of nostalgia as a number of established names from yesteryear, including the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Goldberg, have been linked with in-ring returns at WrestleMania. So with 'Mania just around the corner, the powers that be can't ruin the surprise of a potential WrestleMania feud by having a superstar make a bog standard return at Royal Rumble. It would take away more than a slice of any hysteria that could feasibly happen down the road. This means they are really shopping from the second tier pond, if you will.
