5 Superstars who could eliminate Lita from the Royal Rumble

#2: Beth Phoenix may have a real-life grudge to settle with Lita

Okay, okay, please stop facepalming! I know Lita vs Beth Phoenix can be much more than a soap opera angle. It's a legitimate dream match!

However, this is WWE we are talking about, and seeing how Phoenix and her husband Edge are in a couples feud going into the Rumble, is it so far-fetched?

WWE used the Rated R superstar and his former girlfriend in an art-imitates-life love triangle once before. It is not hard to imagine that they would have the Glamazon and the Queen Xtreme face off over something similar.

What better way to light the spark than to have the former NXT commentator throw her rival over the top rope on January 29th?

#1: Impact Knockouts champion Mickie James may have to run it back with Lita to win the Rumble

Lita officially retired from WWE at Survivor Series 2006. Any guesses as to who she had her final match with? Yup, Mickie James!

The Impact Knockouts Champion is another legend who has been announced for the match, a move that has created a considerable amount of buzz for a rare cross-promotional appearance involving WWE.

Knowing how much history these two trailblazing icons share, few would rule out one last battle between the pair during the 30-woman melee. With James potentially eliminating her contemporary and a possible surprise addition of Trish Stratus to the mix, this face-off is loaded with possibility.

The story may not even end there. We might even see a Litasault at Impact No Surrender!
