While many fans believe that CM Punk is a shoo-in to win the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble, Teddy Long wouldn’t be surprised if he came up short.
Punk is one of five men confirmed for the Men’s Rumble match and is joined by Bobby Lashley and former winners Cody Rhodes, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Drew McIntyre.
On a recent edition of the “Wrestle Binge” podcast, Teddy Long explained why WWE could go with somebody other than the Best in the World. He said,
“That’s the way the Attitude era was, you know what I mean? It is slowly coming back there, it’s getting there. You didn’t just come to see one person, you came to see everybody on that card and that’s how it should be. You know so no one person should think they took credit for the whole thing… I would not be surprised if CM Punk didn’t win it.”
Recent odds from Bet Online place Punk as the favorite to win, with 2023 runner-up GUNTHER taking second place while Cody Rhodes is third.

CM Punk’s Potential Win at the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble: Teddy Long Weighs In
As the anticipation builds for the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble, fans are already speculating on who will come out on top. One name that has been circulating among wrestling enthusiasts is CM Punk. However, former WWE manager Teddy Long believes that Punk may not have an easy path to victory.
CM Punk, known as the “Best in the World,” is one of the five confirmed participants for the Men’s Rumble match. Joining him are Bobby Lashley and former winners Cody Rhodes, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Drew McIntyre. While many fans are placing their bets on Punk, Teddy Long suggests that WWE might have other plans.
During a recent episode of the “Wrestle Binge” podcast, Teddy Long shared his thoughts on why CM Punk might not emerge as the winner. He highlighted that the Attitude era was characterized by a diverse roster, where fans came to see multiple superstars rather than just one. Long believes that this concept is slowly making a comeback in WWE, and no single person should take credit for the entire event’s success.
Long’s statement raises an interesting point about the importance of showcasing a variety of talent in wrestling events. While CM Punk undoubtedly has a massive fan base and is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, WWE may opt to give other deserving superstars a chance to shine in the spotlight.
Despite Teddy Long’s perspective, recent odds from Bet Online still place CM Punk as the favorite to win the Men’s Royal Rumble. GUNTHER, the runner-up from the 2023 edition, follows closely behind in second place, while Cody Rhodes secures the third spot.
The excitement surrounding the Men’s Royal Rumble continues to grow as fans eagerly await the outcome. Will CM Punk prove his dominance once again, or will another superstar rise to the occasion and claim victory? Only time will tell.
