WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Things To Expect

4. The Undertaker Rises Again

Until The Undertaker officially announces that he’s done, it’s best to put your money on him coming back each year at WrestleMania. Does he really want a match with Shane McMahon to be the way to go out? For his sake, I hope not.

There will likely be no better opportunity for Taker to set up his WrestleMania 33 match than by him showing up in the Royal Rumble. And if the company really wants to sell some tickets to the show, get him to agree to be in the Rumble itself, and then promote the hell out of it beforehand. In the bout, John Cena could eliminate him, and then you have your WrestleMania main event in place.

While WWE often likes to have Taker’s returns come as a surprise, this would be one of the occasions where it would be best to know it’s coming. Thousands of ticket sales may depend on it.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
