#2 A heel alliance
A heel alliance has featured in many Royal Rumble matches over the years, and we might be in for the same on January 27.
WWE could have Baron Corbin unite the likes of Jinder Mahal, the Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley, and The Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre to form a heel alliance to dominate the proceedings in the Men's Rumble match.

However, the likes of Seth Rollins, Elias Samson and Apollo Crews are also scheduled to be in the Rumble match, so we might be in for a mouthwatering brawl.
WWE could then also have the former Raw General Manager Kurt Angle make a surprise entry in the Rumble match to even the odds.
On another note, given WWE is possibly booking Drew McIntyre as the next poster boy of WWE, Creative could have the Scottish Psychopath turn on the alliance to eliminate the whole faction single-handedly.
