10 Wild Outside Bets To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2021

10. Keith Lee

The life of a WWE critic is exhausting, you know.

When you're in your formative years, and you think "This writing thing is easier than Physics and wrestling is fun, let's maybe do this," you don't expect to reach 35 and have to swim through the soup that is Vince McMahon's brain and work out what the f*ck he's thinking half the the time.

Parsing Keith Lee's WWE journey is excruciating.

He rocks up in NXT having wowed the indie set with his charm and jaw-dropping power game. He refines his act to align with the in-house style - i.e. slows things down and utters his catchphrase mid-match - and he does this so successfully that Vince treats his show-stealing Survivor Series 2019 performance like Stacey Keibler's legs. Belatedly, he is rewarded with a double NXT gold rush and main roster promotion. He beats Randy Orton in six minutes. Randy Orton!

And then every RAW match he works descends into disqualification, people get tired because this always happens, and when Vince realises Keith isn't moving the needle, he decrees that he doesn't know how to work.

Keith Lee has endured a bizarre and palindromic career, so perhaps he'll win the Rumble after a comedic repackage in two weeks.

Probability: 55%
