10 Wild Outside Bets To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2024

7. Karrion Kross

Brock Lesnar Royal Rumble

Triple H is bound and determined to get Karrion Kross over.

It probably isn't going to happen, no matter how many convoluted move set-ups Karrion attempts in a bid to go viral. The brutal truth of the matter is that he doesn't have it. If he was going to make it - if he was going to apply that great look into a run of any substance - it would have happened by now. It hasn't. Kross, who seems like a decent bloke, just isn't dynamic enough and lacks the credibility required of a man of his size. He wrestles as if stuck in honey.

That will not stop Triple H from trying. Getting Karrion Kross over is his obsession. He wants to get Kross over more than a tear-soaked Tommy Dreamer wants you to remember a little building in Philadelphia that changed the world. He wants to get Kross over more than the Rock wants you to think Black Adam was a hit.

He wants to get Kross over more than Dax Harwood wants you to think his matches are great.

Actually, that's too far, but still: Triple H is desperate for Karrion Kross to make it, and on that basis, a shock Royal Rumble win is not out of the question.
