What is the worst that can happen at the Royal Rumble?

[Deleted]

Kane pins Braun for the Championship.

Ronda Rousey wins the Women's Rumble.

Big Show wins the Men's Rumble.

For my Lesnar retains, Nakamura wins the men's Rumble, Rousey wins the women's, Cedric wins the Cruiserweight title.

An asteroid crashes into the stadium, killing everyone around for hundreds of miles, and putting such a cloud of dust and debris in the atmosphere so as to blot out the sun, causing such a change in climate not seen since the K-T extinction, ending most of the life on this planet.

Still a less depressing Rumble than 2015.

I can't believe nobody considered Stephanie winning the women's and Trips winning the men's and going on to co-headline WrestleMania. Take that asteroid and 2015.

Well, both scenarios had a rock crashing the ring.

I did that on page 2.

to me, Stephanie McMahon winning the Women's Rumble

Aw, man.

I didn’t even consider that and now I’m worried that it’s gonna happen.

[chazraps]

The Eagles somehow winning this too.

[MAGGLE]

Wondering how people will eliminate the Big Show like every year

[Nic Nemeth]

Honestly it would be if the Women's Rumble doesn't start off strong with 1 and 2 and the next few entrants offer nothing but girls like Lana and Tamina come in to botch things causing the crowd to boo the women for over 30 minutes straight until the end of the match making their one big moment a hated one by fans.

[Perfect Timing]

Any Smackdown talent winning the mens Rumble.

[aka Cthulhu]

Decapitation. Goblin invasion. Swarm of locusts. Rain of elephant (just one, but a really fat one.) The list goes on and on.

My money's on one of the Rumble entrants becoming patient zero of a zombie apocalypse scenario. Enters the rumble on his turn, chaos in the ring, the other rumble entrants afterwards are zombies.

Like Night of the Living Dead, but confined in a wrestling ring. Sequels are the following episodes of Raw and Smackdown; the infected roster causing havoc while the non-infectees try to survive. Heath Slater is one of the non-infected, and somehow he becomes that crazy cult leader guy in these kinds of movies, ruling over the survivors with his loony ways, causing more harm than good for the survival of non-infected cast.

[Thunderbolt]

FAN sure has a lot of imagination when it comes to booking wrasslin disaster scenarios.

Or, and I'm clearly pandering to you here, a gap opens up in the middle of the air during the women's Rumble and someone gets pulled through it and replaced by a one-horned drunken oni. And she wins.

Everyone is eliminated before #30 comes out and it ends up being The Miz.

Fixed.

[Unocal 76]

The Patriots win

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

The Women's Rumble gets crickets for the majority of it's entrants, or it's just sloppily done and ends with something like Santina winning it and is played for laughs.

For the men... basically just do Royal Rumble 2015 again... do a real boring slog of a match with an obvious outcome... don't have any stories or feuds play out in the match and have two people lazily toss anyone the crowd cares about over the ring to little fan fare.

Honestly I don't see a scenario where that doesn't happen. There aren't that many women in the division people actually care about.

Outside of Asuka and maybe Becky/Sasha, I honestly expect a majority of the entrants to get little reaction except for someone like Trish or Lita returning.
