2019 Royal Rumble Odds: Favorites to Win Men’s, Women’s Match

Who is favored to win the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches?

One of WWE’s most exciting events of the year is this Sunday, the Royal Rumble.

As of this writing, 20 men and 23 women have been announced as participants in the 30-person Rumble matches. There are also seven other title matches on the card, two of which will occur on the pre-show. But the main attraction is still the pair of Royal Rumble matches, in part because they’re so much fun to bet on. Let’s take a look at the gambling odds for both the men’s and women’s Rumbles.

A quick word of advice: Don’t bet on Kenny Omega. He’s under contract with New Japan through the end of the month and would have to break that contract to appear in the Rumble. Plus, he’s widely assumed to be signing with All Elite Wrestling once his NJPW deal is up. For a full list of odds, including odds to make the final four and prop bets like most eliminations, see Oddsshark.com.

This year’s Rumble will be held at Chase Field in Phoenix, home of the Diamondbacks.

Last year's event took place at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and saw Shinsuke Nakamura win the men's Royal Rumble and Asuka get the victory in the first-ever women's Royal Rumble.
