WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Predicting All 15 Wrestlers Not Yet Announced

5. Johnny Gargano

Currently injured, Gargano's main roster has gone about as well as it would had Vince McMahon booked it.

That's no exaggeration; he barely wrestled when he was fit, he does prop comedy, he also does terrible comedy that does not involve props, and he wears a big smile on his face as he puts smiles on people's face as he hands them the Miz's money.

That feud is as Must Continue as it gets; it's just been delayed as Gargano recovers. He and Miz will interact at the Rumble and might even go all the way to WrestleMania.

Vince at least would have had the mercy to vanish him by this point.
