The rumble in "The Outsiders" was caused by the ongoing rivalry between the Greasers and the Socs, two rival gangs in the novel. The tension between the two groups had been building up throughout the story, culminating in a physical confrontation to settle their differences. The rumble was a way for the Greasers and Socs to assert their dominance and prove their strength in their ongoing conflict.
