WWE Royal Rumble 2024: Predicting All 30 Entrants

21. GUNTHER (#10)

WWE Royal Rumble 2024 CM Punk Steve Austin

The history-making Intercontinental Champion is smart. GUNTHER wouldn't race into the ring and go nose-to-nose with someone full of p*ss and vinegar like Andrade for the sake of it. Instead, he'd stand atop the announce desk at ringside and start putting over how impressive the guy is.

Of course, these would be diversionary tactics.

GUNTHER's original purpose in the 2024 Rumble would be to heighten Andrade's return verbally (whilst sneakily staying out of harm's way), then ready fans for another monster pop as someone else big time returned to WWE rings with a bang. You can probably tell who's about to blaze through the curtain next, can't you?
