5 things that may happen at the Royal Rumble
#5 Dolph Ziggler returns
At WWE Night of Champions last month, Dolph Ziggler defeated Bobby Roode and then Champion Baron Corbin for the WWE United States Championship. Just two days later, on the following Smackdown, Dolph bizarrely forfeited the Championship after saying that the fans did not deserve him and placed the title belt in the ring before leaving. The following week, Smackdown General Manager Daniel Bryan claimed that Ziggler was nowhere to be found and had indeed vacated his title.
As of this writing, we have no idea where this angle is heading. Many fans actually speculated that Dolph may have legitimately walked out of WWE but that is said to be untrue and Dolph is currently a part of the local advertisements for Smackdown pay-per-view Elimination Chamber in February. Wherever they are going with this, many believe that Dolph may return to TV at the Royal Rumble this Sunday and even potentially win it. He and Daniel Bryan are currently tied in 3rd place as favourites to win the 30 man match on professional websites.
