WWE Royal Rumble 2024: Predicting All 30 Entrants

12. Cody Rhodes (#19)

WWE Royal Rumble 2024 CM Punk Steve Austin

Florida's masses will be primed and ready to sing along to Cody's theme tune. Audiences always are, but there's a feeling that we're creeping closer to doing so as Rhodes walks to the ring proudly sporting the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. Cody vs. Roman Reigns II makes sense for 'Mania.

Best of all, Triple H doesn't have to book a repeat Rumble win for Rhodes to get there. The pair already have history, and a swaggering braggart like Roman wouldn't be able to resist taking another pound of Cody's flesh in 2024.

Rhodes is in the Rumble to add star quality, but not to win it. He'll be out there for a good while, to be fair.
