WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 7 Things That Must Happen

7. The New Day Must Retain The Tag Titles

The feud between The New Day and The Usos has largely been terrible, starting over a Slammy Award (never, ever a good sign) and then taking a turn for the worse when Chris Jericho and his lack of shirts got involved, decimating Xavier Woods' trombone and generally being the least 'cool' character on a show that includes a stable called the Social Outcasts. The Usos are in a strange position at present. They are quite clearly positioned as the #1 babyface tag team, yet other than a unique entrance there really isn't much to them. They are never terrible, they are never incredible, either. They are merely there. The crowd seems to have lost interest in them, too, which isn't a great sign. It is the latter point in particular that makes it imperative that the New Day retain their titles. Whilst it is too early for Kofi, Big E and Woods to turn back to the good side, I dare say Jimmy and Jey need a heel turn, and fast. What are the odds we see a double turn at the Royal Rumble?

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
