11 Shocks WWE Could Pull At Royal Rumble 2016

5. Reigns Goes Early

Another shock scenario for Reigns would be an early elimination. He's in at number one, and most fans figure he'll last most of the hour, valiantly putting up a fight. So it would be a shocker if he went within the first ten minutes, but it would actually open up a ton of excitement. Fans would know a new WWE Champion would definitely be crowned. It changes the dynamic in a big way. Reigns' early elimination could set up his 'Mania feud. Perhaps he'd be screwed in an Authority angle. Getting that out of the way early allows for the end of the match to be more about the new champion. Still, it would be a big shock if they did go this route, and Reigns still has to be considered a hot favourite to win.
