I was watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and got thinking what ideas could WWE use from films?
Going back to the GoF, when a 4th name came out of the hat, what if after all 30 people have entered the Royal Rumble and we think one of the men/women in the ring is going to win, the countdown mysteriously starts again and we get a 31st entrant, who goes on to win. Could be a lot of fun storyline determining how it happened and how they got that number etc.

I always wanted a Rocky story out of the Royal Rumble. The winner of the Rumble is someone who no one gave a chance to. Like a nostalgia entrant or a comedy character wins. Then the build up to Wrestlemania is McMahon freaking out that his showcase of the immortals is ruined because some joke wrestler is guaranteed the main event slot. They almost did it with Santino, but dumb old Del Rio won instead.
They sort of did this story with Bryan and again with Kofi, but those guys were highly regarded by the fans. So it was easy to take them seriously. Also they didn't use the Rumble win with these guys.

I know I would pop huge if this happened!
I'm still salty they took his MITB away from him for a completely forgettable Miz transitional win.

The end of Roman's title run playing out like Avengers Endgame, with Cody being helped by all of Roman's past challengers (still with the company and/or on good terms) as they step out of "portals" to aid him.

I remember that reign well, mostly because in kayfabe, Miz had the worst WWE top title reign of all time. |

They missed the boat doing an Usual Suspect's Kyzer Soze storyline twist with Eugene.

It would have been a much more interesting story. As has been said in this thread, if they were to do this story, Otis would be the perfect choice. Hell, imagine if he was the one who dethroned Roman. |

Shane Mcmahon must repeat grades K-12 in order to inherit the company, if not HHH gets it.

So it was easy to take them seriously. Also they didn't use the Rumble win with these guys. This is honestly the story they should have told for Jinder. Like I've posted before. Show Jinder working his ass off for his one chance, interspliced with Randy Orton partying and otherwise overlooking him. Time of the match Jinder takes Orton to the limit ... where Ultimately Orton resorts to cheating to win. (Again Rocky loses the title match but the point was he could hang. From there have Jinder go after the midcard title... or another upper mid-card heel pointing out how close he was to beating a legend like Orton and see if he can actually get and stay over that way. |
