7. Lana Wins The Women’s Rumble

Lana missed her scheduled Women's Tag Title shot at TLC due to kayfabe injuries, but most reports suggested she'd be back before now. There's still no sign of the 'Ravishing Russian' on programming though, and that could mean that Lana will bounce back into view at the Rumble.

Surprise!

WWE seemed rather determined to make Lana's recent underdog babyface routine work before. Come Sunday, their hardheadedness could blight the pay-per-view scene with one of the most unforeseen and unwanted Rumble victories ever. Yep, they might just book Lana (of all people) to come out on top.

It sounds ridiculous, and yet her recent booking pre-holiday doesn't make it impossible. Lana secured an unlikely Raw Women's Title shot once, and she could do so again by upsetting the odds and almost-accidentally winning the women's match.
