10 Early Winners For WWE Royal Rumble 2024
1. LA Knight
There is no bigger disconnect in wrestling today than between the fans and WWE management when it comes to LA Knight - and that's not an insult, that's just a fact of life.
Despite multiple missed opportunities recently, reports coming out of the company insist that Knight's major push we are all clamoring for is on the horizon but it just doesn't feel like it is. The 'Megastar' has only featured on two PLEs in 2023 - and one was in literal pitch black, while the other was in an underwhelming moment on an otherwise blockbuster Money In The Bank. Furthermore, the fan favourite has been relegated to a sponsored battle royal for SummerSlam that could very well end up getting bumped to the kickoff show.
Similar to that of Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn, which is an ominous sign to say the least, LA Knight is drawing huge numbers in the merchandise department - which is often the language WWE speak in, but Triple H and co. are still reluctant to give the 'Megastar' the mega push the world needs.
Theorists suggest that Knight's wise age of 40 is the reason for his stagnant role on Smackdown but he's the same age as Damian Priest, the man that beat him to the MITB briefcase, and two years younger than Finn Balor, who is challenging and could quite possibly win the World Heavyweight title this Saturday.
Just give fans what they want, WWE, and give us an LA Knight Rumble win.
