5 twists that could happen at the 2017 Royal Rumble

It’s almost time for the most unpredictable Rumble in years

#4 Bayley wins the RAW Women’s Championship

The Rumble could see the end of Charlotte’s impressive streak

It may seem incredibly far-fetched, but Bayley could become the RAW Women's Champion on Sunday.

Charlotte may have a 15-match win streak going for PPV title defences, but what a shocker would it be to have the underdog Bayley knock off the champ for a third time, with this one being for the gold and on PPV. It would be huge.

This is called a twist for a reason, because it goes against what is most likely to happen, but waiting until WrestleMania for Bayley to win the title might be too long. The Royal Rumble could turn out to be the best time for the title to change hands between these two.

Even if Bayley loses the title between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, it still moves the story along, which is important with there being so much time between then and now.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
