9. The Miz and Damien Mizdow lose their Title Match, then split up in the Royal Rumble Match – As entertaining as the movie star and stunt-double gimmick has been these last few months, it has very clearly run its course. And like every gimmick that has run its course it will receive its death knell in an important pay-per-view, first as The Miz and Mizdow lose their WWE Tag Team Championship match to the Usos – which will undoubtedly trigger some kind of aggressive, angry response from Miz at the dejected Mizdow, and perhaps later on in the Royal Rumble match as Mizdow eliminates Miz and robs him of his chance to main event Wrestlemania.
8. Erick Rowan somehow gets involved in the Royal Rumble Match – WWE wants you to feel like Erick Rowan is getting fleeced by being left out of the Rumble Rumble after losing his qualifying match to his old tag-team partner, Luke Harper. But for those people who are fans of Big Red, fear not. If there’s one thing you can count on it’s that nobody of any popularity (except Daniel Bryan) ever really gets left out of the Royal Rumble. Through some loophole or trickery, Rowan will make his way back into the Rumble and proceed to wreck shop until he is (most likely) eliminated by Bray Wyatt.
