#5 : Seth Rollins
Seth Rollin vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE championship at WrestleMania can draw big time. There are however, two problems with this storyline. First, Rollins is struggling with injury, and secondly, Rollins will be given a hero’s welcome when he returns, ending the momentum of Reigns.
#4 Daniel Bryan
Recently, we came to know that Daniel Bryan would be allowed to wrestle again if he tones down his wrestling style. Pushing him back into the ring is a risk, but if Daniel Bryan enters the Royal Rumble, then goes on to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, it will be a great storyline.
At Fast Lane, Bryan and Reigns had a classic match and though we might not get to see such physicality due to the situation of Bryan, we will have a solid match.
This, however, will badly effect Reigns as the fans back Bryan and everything that WWE managed to achieve at TLC will be torn to shreds.
# 3 THE ROCK
Cousin vs. Cousin, The Samoan Superman vs. The Brahma Bull, Roman Reigns vs. The Rock. All of this sounds great. A Rock vs. Roman Reigns match is mainstream gold. They are bound to get wide coverage and all of it could start at Royal Rumble.
Rock could enter last and go on to win the Rumble match, and set up a bout with his cousin.
The problem, however, is predictability. The fans will tag Rock as a part-timer and probably jeer him when he wins. Secondly, everyone knows that Rock is not going to stick around. So the WrestleMania match will be predictable.
# 2 Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle recently announced that he was going to retire from the sport. We have all the reasons to believe him, but the problem with professional wrestling is, we cannot always set apart kayfabe and reality.
Now that Angle announced his retirement, he is one of the least expected superstars to show up at Royal Rumble or even WWE for that matter.
This sets up the stage perfectly for a great return from the Olympic Gold Medalist. Angle deserves to retire on a grand stage and this will be possible if he returns to WWE at Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant.
He could stick around till WrestleMania and have a farewell match at the pay-per-view.
# 1 CM Punk
Do you want CM Punk back in WWE? Even if you no, in some deep dark corner of your mind, you are still wishing to see him back. He is preparing himself for his UFC debut and the chances of Punk showing up at Royal Rumble are below zero, but the best part about wrestling is: we never say never.
