#1 Braun Strowman reveals he's medically unfit to compete in the Royal Rumble
Admittedly, this is the unlikeliest of scenarios on this list. Braun Strowman hasn't been wearing a cast anymore, and that itself should indicate that he'll be medically clear.
However, the reported reason that Brock Lesnar and Strowman didn't have a physical confrontation last week was that they want to keep Strowman away from any action until the Royal Rumble. He hasn't even been wrestling live events.
With so much uncertainty, there comes the niggling doubt that Strowman's real long-term status could be unclear. Would it be worth the risk to injure Strowman long-term for one high-profile Royal Rumble match?
If Strowman was to announce that he's medically unfit to compete, that would certainly be a shock and cause a sudden change in plans for the Rumble (and perhaps even WrestleMania). They could give Lesnar a filler opponent in such a situation.
However, we still firmly believe that Strowman will make it to the Rumble.
