Is CM Punk Favourite To Win The 2024 Royal Rumble?: Former WWE writer Vince Russo reckons that WWE has been forced to get creative and make some changes in its plans for the upcoming 2024 Royal Rumble due to CM Punk returning to the company after nearly a decade.
After being released by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in August 2023 after their All-In event, the self-proclaimed Best in the World made his return to WWE in the dying minutes of the Survivor Series Premium Live Event.
He has not made many TV appearances since but has announced himself as a participant in the 37th annual Men’s Royal Rumble match, to take place at the titular event on January 27, 2024.

Is CM Punk Favourite To Win The 2024 Royal Rumble
Speaking on the latest episode of his Legion of RAW podcast, Vince Russo stated that WWE has several contenders who could win the Royal Rumble this year, but CM Punk’s return will compel them to come up with unique ideas for the 30-man match, he said –
“With the return of CM Punk, they’re [WWE] gonna have to get creative at the Royal Rumble. Because now you got Punk in there, now you got Cody [Rhodes] in there, you know, you got Drew [McIntyre] in there, but we know Drew is not going over. But, with the addition of Punk, now at least they have to be creative going into the Rumble.”

On this week’s episode of RAW, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre got into a war of words with the latter announcing his entry into the Royal Rumble. Punk then proclaimed that no one could stop him from winning the Rumble and that it would be Drew who would be eliminated last.
Cody Rhodes, who many still believe would be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, was arguably the favorite to win the Royal Rumble for the second year in a row before CM Punk’s return.
But now that the Second City Saint has returned to the company, he is the favorite to win the Rumble and take on Seth Rollins at the Showcase of the Immortals.
