WWE Royal Rumble 2022: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

1. The Undertaker Gets Dumped

This is a heartbreaking thought, so apologies in advance.

Rumours abound that The Undertaker will be in town for Saturday's card. He could only be in town to watch Michelle McCool in the women's Rumble, or he might be about to haul on the 'Deadman' garb for his own cameo in the men's match. That's not really the depressing bit.

It's more disheartening to think of 'Taker ambling down the aisle to a rapturous response, then getting chucked out of the match within two minutes. Man, that's horrible to even type, but this is the company that let him retire in front of bloody webcam users at Survivor Series 2020.

Is it a stretch to suggest that Vince McMahon would be heartless enough to wheel the legend out for one "last ride", then make it a short hop? There's nothing to be gained from making 'Taker look silly, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Yuck.
