When I first read it, I thought it was a bit of a stretch, but I can actually see that happening.
Say if HBK wins the Rumble for JBL, he'll give HBK X amount of money (just something to get HBK out of his bankrupt state). HBK wins, gets the money.
Then the next week on RAW, Shane steps in and says on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Royal Rumble title shot has never and cannot be transferred from one participant to the next. So, like last year's No Way Out, they set up a RAW chamber and an SD chamber (in which JBL will lose his title shot by getting eliminated by HBK).
This branches into a JBL/Shane feud which can make for a sick street fight at Mania, and this leaves about a month and a half for them to give us a nice 6-7 week buildup for the epic WM25 match between Taker vs. HBK (which can be evolved from the simple "I ended Flair's career, now I wanna end the streak" challenge).
