10 Wild Outside Bets To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2024

10. Chad Gable

WWE, even under Triple H's basics-forward regime, tends to make up the rules as they go along for their own convenience.

Consider the use of Austin Theory in 2022. Anointed as Mr. Money In The Bank by Vince McMahon, Triple H didn't feel he was ready to cash in the briefcase - particularly since, at the time, there was only one World champion. In a disastrous booking manoeuvre, instead of failing to cash in against Roman Reigns, Theory unsuccessfully cashed in against United States champion Seth Rollins. Theory was such a loser that he couldn't even steal a consolation prize.

The general idea here is that, if Austin Theory can cash in for a midcard title, then Chad Gable can win the Royal Rumble and use it to challenge GUNTHER for the elusive Intercontinental title. That story is either in the background, waiting to be picked up, or fans are manifesting a continuation of it; either way, it could happen at 'Mania as a way of getting around what might now be the Dwayne Johnson problem. If the Rock is working Roman at 'Mania, WWE might require some sort of workaround at the Rumble.

Gable Vs. GUNTHER was a tremendous programme - Gable was so great at not allowing GUNTHER an inch of space until his valiant failures - and an emotive title win is as close to a guaranteed classic WWE has at WrestleMania.
