Here starts the list of theories that I think are most possible to happen in the Game of Thrones universe. DISCLAIMER: I do not take credit for any of this work. All theories enclosed and those who dedicated their time and effort into creating/discovering them will be credited below the theory and I will follow their description of their theory as closely as possible in order to prevent a change in meaning, but I will edit out what I think is unnecessary to the understanding of the theory, a.k.a. fluff.
1. SANSA AND JON???
Incest isn't taboo in Westeros, as evidenced by the Targaryens and the Lannisters. To think that Jon and Sansa might marry isn't entirely impossible, especially since Jon's true parents are Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. That makes Sansa and Jon cousins, which is somewhat different from the Targaryen brother-sister arrangements.
As stated by Krista Grabowski, "Sansa's history with relationships isn't so great. So far she's been promised to the psychotic Joffrey Baratheon, intended to marry Loras Tyrell for a short time (Willas Tyrell in the Game of Thrones books), marries Tyrion Lannister, marries Ramsay Bolton in the show (she's promised to a nasty guy named Harry Hardying in the books). The books hint that Ramsay is not her last marriage.
George R.R. Martin wrote some prequel stories that are set 100 years before Game of Thrones begins. It tells the tale of two characters named Dunk and Egg. In one of the stories, the two go to a tournament in a place called Ashford. Winners of the tournament are the five champions of the Lady Ashford. Those winners are Lyonel Baratheon, Tybolt Lannister, Leo Tyrell, Humphrey Hardying, and Valaar Targaryen. Notice anything? The last names of each of these champions matches up with the last name of the men to whom Sansa has either been married or promised to (substituting Ramsay Bolton for Humphrey Hardying in the Game of Thrones television show). So who's left? A Targaryen. And what Targaryens are possibilities? Well, there is Daenerys, and, although HBO does like to push its limits with GOT, they probably wouldn't go so far as to do something as politically dangerous as portray a same-sex marriage, which leaves Jon."
This doesn't include the positive political side effects of Jon and Sansa marrying, which is often a key point in deciding Westerosi marriages.
If that was too much to read, I understand. Alt-Shift-X on YouTube does a great job of explaining anything Game of Thrones. Here's a recent video of his thoughts on the matter.

2. SANSA AND RAMSAY'S BABY???
A lot of fans are of the mindset that Sansa may be pregnant with Ramsay's child. It all starts with conversations between the two. Sansa said to Baelish, "I can still feel what he did in my body, standing here right now." And then there were these final words from Ramsay to Sansa - "I'm a part of you now." This led people to believe in the possibility, but knowing George R.R. Martin's past of doing whatever he can to crush dreams and happiness.

3. TYRION IS A TARGARYEN TOO??
So, we're mostly making every character in the series a Targaryen at this point, but that's okay. Some people have come up with the theory that Tyrion is among that group. This starts with the statement from Tywin Lannister as Tyrion is killing him when he says to Tyrion, "You're no son of mine." Krista Grabowski goes on to expand on this by saying, "This could have been anger, or it could have been a moment of truth. If you think about it, there is something about Tywin's hatred of Tyrion that doesn't make sense. We learned early on in HBO's Game of Thrones that his wife Joanna died giving birth to Tyrion. But Tyrion is one of two of Tywin's sons. The other is Jaime, who can't have children because he is serving in the King's guard. So Tyrion is the only one who can carry on the Lannister name. But what if there is another reason he hates him so? What if he isn't his child?
The scandalous rumor related to Tyrion is that a Game of Thrones legend, the Mad King, was in love with Joanna, even after she wed Tywin, and he slept with her after she was married. It's not clear if he forced himself on her or if it was consensual. What if Tyrion is the son of Joanna Lannister and Aerys Targaryen?
Consider two more things about Tyrion. In the books, and in early episodes of Game of Thrones, he is described as having very blonde hair, like the Targaryens. And there was an amazing scene where he spoke to the dragons and interacted with them quite successfully. That is a talent that is supposed to belong only to Targaryens."
You can make your own decision though, and regardless, we'll find out soon.

4. Something about a horn??
Now I don't really know anything about this, but Alt-Shift-X on YouTube has a video about it and it's not an unheard of theory about the destruction of the Wall. So rather than reading my garbage, listen to his!
5. CLEGANEBOWL
"So if Sandor’s alive and Gregor’s "alive" (thanks to the miraculous intervention of disbarred maester Qyburn), will the brotherly archenemies finally have the throw-down the Hound always wanted? This theory holds that in an upcoming trial by combat to determine Cersei Lannister's fate, she'll name "Ser Robert Strong"- the towering, masked, mute new kingsguard who bears a striking resemblance to the supposedly late Ser Gregor - as her champion, leading the High Sparrow to tap the Quiet Isle's gravedigger as his own. There's a lot counting against this theory, from the willingness of Sandor's new brothers to narc on him, to the Sparrow's decision to pick Sandor out of all the potential candidates, to how, exactly, both the news and the man himself would travel all that way in time to participate. Most important, it would royally screw up just about the only good thing that’s ever happened to the Hound: finding peace."
So this theory has been around for a long time. And although the Sparrow is dead and Cersei no longer has to fight for her innocence, there is still a chance that Gregor Clegane and Sandor Clegane meet in combat, since they're both around still. So, GET HYPE.

6. Balon Greyjoy killed by the Faceless Men
"In A Feast for Crows, the fourth book of A Song of Ice and Fire, the brothers and heirs of Balon Greyjoy - King of the Iron Islands - duke it out to claim Balon's crown after he dies in a fall from a bridge. But was it really that simple? During a visit to the psychic old woman and potential Child of the Forest known as the Ghost of High Heart, Arya and Beric Dondarrion's Brotherhood Without Banners are treated to a prophecy in which the tiny telepath envisions a man with no face on a rickety bridge, with "a drowned crow" draped in seaweed on his shoulder. Given that Balon's successor is his mega-rich pirate brother Euron "Crow's Eye" Greyjoy, who showed up unannounced at the Iron Islands almost immediately after his royal kin's untimely demise, it seems all but certain he hired a member of the famous Braavosi order of assassins, the Faceless Men, to kill Balon so he could seize power."
