Is it time for R-Truth to win the 2022 Royal Rumble match?

I really wish they would have the Rumble winner be an upset or an accident just once. And then give that person a 2 month build of working on themselves and believing they can do it.

The only problem with this is that they'd pick an obvious joke character (like the dude with no chin who's name escapes me but kept getting fluke wins over AJ Styles. I'm sure someone will post it) or someone who was just previously buried into oblivion (like when they gave Jinder Mahal that four week credibility build from jerking curtians to being WHC) to do that instead of someone that could be pushed into a credible threat but "just not quite there yet".

If they didn't pull what they did with the guy, I would have said someone like Mustafa Ali being perfect for that role. You know, if he kept getting the treatment he was getting BEFORE that pseudo-anarcist, directionless, dime store Fist of the North Star Zeed Gang stable killed the credibility of everyone associated with the group in one fell swoop.

How have they not done the twin magic bait and switch gimmick with Mustafa Ali and Mansoor is beyond me. Am I the only one who thinks that they look the same? To make it interesting they could establish a new faction with Seth Rollins as the mentor figure. Even have Fred Bizkit do the theme song, "Keep on Rollins Rollins..."

James Ellsworth, a/k/a 2-time women's Money in the Bank winner? LOL

It’s amazing that after all these years they’ve never done it. Truth is perfect for it. He’s been around for a long time. He’s a fan favorite. He’s entertaining as hell and it’s not hard to see the fans getting behind him. Even if he doesn’t win the belt, it would be fun and completely different to see him somehow win the Rumble, Bert built up week by week and challenge for a belt.
