10 Wild Outside Bets To Win The 2022 WWE Royal Rumble
7. Ridge Holland
Ridge Holland is another perversely hilarious glimpse into WWE's omni-f*cked future.
His name alone is so random, which is understandable, since it was spewed from WWE's randomised name generator.
"Ridge".
It sounds like WWE's Jimmy Hart version of Hangman Page, when in reality he is a northern English bloke with an appetite for both fighting and being a caricature of a northern English bloke.
He's also incredibly green, having spent more time on the sidelines than in the ring working six minute matches in the Capitol Wrestling Center. Again, it's incredibly backwards: developmental functions to develop talent, but Ridge's physique is so imposing that the "develop" part was simply abandoned altogether. He looks like he could be a star, which is of far greater importance than any real evidence of his ability to be one.
WWE is better off simply tasking somebody with creating a database of athletes categorised by size and weight in descending order, which is probably what they'll actually do in the wake of William Regal's firing.
Unlike Von Wagner, he's wider than he is tall, which won't do him any favours long-term.
Probability: 20%
