10 Wild Outside Bets To Win The 2022 WWE Royal Rumble

10. W. Morrissey

WrestleVotes recently tweeted that WWE might just be entertaining the idea of opening 'The Forbidden Door'.

They already sort of have, given the agreement to slot Knockouts Champion Mickie James into the Women's Rumble, but that's less 'Forbidden Door' and more 'lol We Fired Too Many Women, Our Bad Door'. Perhaps the source in question is connecting a few dots or making a somewhat informed guess, but regardless, the rumour is out there.

Let's rate its legitimacy.

Nobody from AEW is walking into the Royal Rumble. It's not happening. Tony Khan would want that person to be booked very strongly, and Vince is not going to freely advertise the competition. He might be tempted to further taunt Triple H, since it's his favourite hobby these days, but it's just not happening.

This leaves Impact Wrestling and ROH basically, and few of the contractors plying their trade in those promotions meet Vince's criteria: tall, tanned, athletic, barely trained.

But there is one guy working Impact who almost does: the very tall former Big Cass, who has only worked one other name promotion, which hardly positions him as a polymath with the dreaded ability to work several unique styles.

Probability: 40%
