8 WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Surprises That Could Happen

5. The Most Electrifying Man In Sports-Entertainment

The announcement via Dwayne Johnson's official Instagram account regarding The Rock's return to WrestleMania sparked great interest in just what The Great One will be doing come April 3 in Dallas, Texas. Perhaps that question becomes a bit clearer Sunday in Orlando. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the A-list movie star and pro wrestling icon shows up at the Royal Rumble, especially one in which Roman Reigns plays a key role in the proceedings. That is exactly what happened in Philadelphia last year, when the Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment was used to try and deflect some of the hatred the fans had for Reigns and his win the in the main event. Unlikely to come to the rescue of Reigns, Rock could easily foreshadow what his plans for the biggest night in wrestling will be Sunday with a brief appearance.
