WWE Royal Rumble 2024 is less than six months. The reverse countdown to one of the biggest premium live events of WWE has started. Every year, fans are curious to know spoilers related to the Royal Rumble, specifically about the winner of the match as well as the surprise entrants.
While there is no backstage update on who could be the surprise entrants in next year’s Royal Rumble match, it seems clear that Gunther will win the men’s match. Gunther is currently the Intercontinental Champion on RAW. He set a new record for the longest reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion and had a grand celebration recently.
It looks like Gunther will lose his belt to Chad Gable soon and head to the main event scene. Earlier this year, online reports surfaced claiming that the top three favorites to win the WWE Royal Rumble 2024 match were Gunther, LA Knight and Cody Rhodes.
WWE fans are buzzing about the #RoyalRumble after the big location announcement today.
We were told that, "The winner of the Rumble has been decided. And it hasn't changed since the decision was made" when @RingsideNews_ exclusively reported it in June.
