5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Royal Rumble main event possibly spoiled, stunning end to Fiend contract signing

#1 A tag team title shot is coming

The Miz and John Morrison announced before the match that they would be entering the Men's Royal Rumble. Let's put this into perspective - 27 of the 30 men have been officially announced.

Cain Velasquez also declared that he would be entering - which means 28 spots have been taken. Where is the room for any surprise? As for the women, it's been the opposite, with just eight women officially declaring themselves in the Rumble match.

Either way, Morrison gained more momentum upon his return. First, he helped The Miz beat Kofi Kingston, then he beat Big E himself, and this week, he beat the former WWE Champion Kingston in a singles match.

Now that he's beaten both members, and along with The Miz, has been gaining momentum, we can see the duo becoming the next title challengers and potentially even the next champions.

While the match won't be at the Royal Rumble, it'll be in the build after, and hopefully, things pick up and we don't get a repeat of episodes like this.
