#4. Bobby Lashley could set up a Spear vs. Spear clash at WrestleMania
If he doesn't win the WWE Championship at Day 1, a babyface Bobby Lashley could end up winning the Royal Rumble and main eventing WrestleMania opposite Roman Reigns.
This past week on RAW, Lashley teamed up with Big E to take on the team of Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens in the main event. His body language and promo to kick off the show points toward a potential face turn for the All Mighty.
Should this be the start of a new chapter for the former WWE Champion, he could go on to win the Royal Rumble and choose to challenge the Tribal Chief for the Universal Championship.
A spear vs. spear clash at WrestleMania would be a great way to cap off this latest push for the All Mighty.
#3. Austin Theory could win the Royal Rumble to cap off a stellar breakout year and challenge Big E
Austin Theory has enjoyed quite the breakout year in WWE. Whilst still in NXT, he was featured in prominent storylines as part of The Way alongside Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell.
He was drafted over to RAW in October and had quite a list of victims. He defeated Jeff Hardy twice, followed by both Dominik and Rey Mysterio. He was even part of the RAW Men's Survivor Series team at the pay-per-view.
Recently, he has been getting the rub recently from multiple Vince McMahon appearances on weekly television, which is quite rare for an upstart in his rookie year on the main roster.
Theory could easily cap off his ongoing push with a shocking Royal Rumble victory and choose to challenge Big E for the WWE Championship. Vince McMahon has handed him a shot at the Powerhouse of Positivity already, but he was unsuccessful then.
By winning the Rumble, he could not only earn another shot at the title, but also headline WrestleMania and cement his status as the 'next big thing' in WWE.
