If you dare, take a look at WWE's mini-site for the 2018 Royal Rumble. It reveals a few things: Tamina is considered to be a featured entrant in the female Rumble, John Cena's smile is terrifying and Baron Corbin is a realistic winner of the men's Rumble. Don't believe us? Well, we're not the ones who put his picture in as hype for the match.

Corbin is the only one pictured above some text pushing the importance of the Royal Rumble. If that doesn't make you shake, then nothing will. After flopping as Mr. Money in the Bank, losing the briefcase before cashing it in successfully, there's a slight chance that Baron will redeem himself with a shock win on 28 January.

This wouldn't end the pay-per-view in positive fashion. Corbin needs a lot more work before he'll ever be taken seriously as a WrestleMania headliner. Even if his title match took place on the undercard in New Orleans, he'd still have to go down as one of the worst Royal Rumble winners ever.
