Both the show and the novels have set this up from almost the very beginning.
What 3 trial by combats have we seen? Bronn (Tyrion) and Ser Cant Fly, The Hound (in proper person) and Dondarrion - and The Mountain and the Viper (Tyrion).
Since we know, almost for a fact (barring some heavy shite going down in the Red Keep), that The Mountain (Franken or not) will be in this next one, it makes no literary sense for the Faith's champion to be anyone other than Sandor Clegane, period.
If it is anything else, Martin wasted a metric shite ton of words and foreshadowing for a non-event.

This IS GRRM we are talking about.

What shite ton of words? There has been very little written about the Hound after Arya leaves him. In fact it really only comes up one time.
You are largely correct though that Cleganebowl carries the most narrative heft of the potential matchups for Cersei's trial by combat.
The only thing that comes close is Loras due to the whole horse incident from Season 1.
If Sandor beats Gregor, though Cersei dies presumably before Tommen. That would invalidate Maggy the Frog's prophecy.
