WWE Royal Rumble 2015: 10 Biggest Rumours

1. Seth Rollins Cashes In Money In The Bank And Wins The WWE World Heavyweight Championship

"There is always a plan B."

That statement by Triple H, aired at the end of the 30-second promo for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at the Royal Rumble, looms over the contest like a black cloud. It is a constant reminder to fans that The Authority always has a trick up their sleeve, something that will ensure that they maintain control over all things World Wrestling Entertainment.

In this case, Seth Rollins' Money in the Bank is key in answering the question of who leaves the Royal Rumble with the top prize in the industry. See, even if the former Architect of The Shield does not win the Triple Threat match also involving Brock Lesnar and John Cena, he can still leave Philadelphia with the title, thanks to the Money in the Bank contract he earned last July.

By waiting as long as he has for the opportune time to cash in, he has created a scenario in which he essentially has two chances to win the WWE championship, meaning he can methodically pick and choose his spots and opportunities come Sunday night.

If Rollins would capture the title at the Royal Rumble, it would completely alter plans for WrestleMania. What was once though to be a certain Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns main event would suddenly be off the table. Rollins, the top heel in the industry, would be the favorite to enter Santa Clara, California, as the champion.

Would it affect who WWE chooses to win the Rumble match? More importantly, would the company feel pressure to hot shot the title come Fast Lane in February in order to present a higher profile main event?

While it may not be the easiest path to take heading into WrestleMania, a Rollins title victory would certainly pop the Philadelphia crowd and make for more interesting and compelling television than another Cena run or a successful defense by Lesnar.
