In professional wrestling, betting odds are usually a sign of things to come. In the lead-up to massive Premium Live Events, they are often treated as outright spoilers and more often than not get the Royal Rumble winners predicted before the event. With that in mind let’s take a look at who the betting odds believe will be the men’s royal rumble 2022 winner. We did the same for the women’s match so check that out if you’d like to see the favorites there.

Men’s Royal Rumble 2022 Winner Prediction
1st – Brock Lesnar
That’s right folks despite already holding the WWE Championship Brock Lesnar is the odds on favorite to be the Men’s Royal Rumble 2022 winner. This is likely due to Lesnar’s win coming very recently at WWE Day 1 when Roman Reigns was forced off the card due to a positive COVID test. With Lesnar currently set to defend against Bobby Lashley at the event it is still likely that the Beast Incarnate has to enter the Royal Rumble following defeat to the “almighty one” to get himself back on track to face Reigns.
2nd – Big E
Just behind the current WWE Champion is the man he beat for the WWE Championship. Big E won Money in The Bank in 2021 and went on to cash in his opportunity to claim the gold from Bobby Lashley. Now that Big E is without the title some fans think he could win the Rumble and put himself into contention for a title rematch.
3rd – Tied Omos & Seth Rollins
We’ve got quite the interesting scenario here as both Omos and Seth Rollins are tied at the same odds to win the Royal Rumble. Rollins’ chances are slightly diminished by the fact that he is getting a title match at this event when he challenges Roman Reigns. That leaves Omos. The gargantuan figure is a former Raw tag champ alongside AJ Styles but has recently broke away and forged his won path. The big man is an impressive sight but it may be much too soon for him to win the Royal Rumble to earn a WrestleMania main event spot.
Outside Chances
As always there are some interesting names littered throughout the betting odds. The previously released Bray Wyatt is tied with Gable Steveson, Goldberg, and John Cena at 25/1 odds of winning. Tyson Fury currently sits at 33/1 chances of winning. Conor McGregor is 50/1 while some hopeful punter could bet on CM Punk to emerge as the Men’s Royal Rumble 2022 winner at 100/1 odds on offer.
