Imagine if The Undertaker were to win the 2016 Royal Rumble and head into WrestleMania 32 as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion? It doesn't seem like the most logical story coming out of the January pay-per-view, but it sure would get the wrestling world talking about WWE. At this time of year, that's exactly what they want. People would be shocked and stunned if Undertaker emerged victorious, but also overjoyed. It stands to reason that the company will book Roman Reigns to beat the odds at the Rumble, but an Undertaker win would prove the ultimate swerve. Nobody would see it coming, and it would really add some intrigue in the run-up to WrestleMania. The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns has a big-match feel to it, and there won't be too many opportunities to book such a bout in the future. As implausible as it seems, what if The Undertaker returns to WWE at the Royal Rumble and leaves as the new WWE Champion? That's a story sure to appeal to longtime fans, who haven't seen 'Taker hold the title for many years. It could also set up a singles showdown with The Big Dog down the road, a match that will no doubt draw in many fans.
