Interestingly, neither of these men has declared themselves as an entrant in the Royal Rumble match. Cody Rhodes, who lost the Undisputed WWE Championship earlier this month, is fancied at 8\/1 to win. These are quite long odds. Sami Zayn at 4\/1 is more popular among the bookies. Gunther and Jacob Fatu are both 12\/1 to win.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, The Rock is 50\/1. The rumoured-to-return Chris Jericho is 40\/1 to win. Shockingly long odds are given for Jey Uso at 66\/1.<\/p>\n
Here’s the full list of people who are declared for the Royal Rumble matches.<\/a><\/p>\n The bookies are seemingly just as unsure about who will win the women’s Royal Rumble. Bianca Belair, who hasn’t been seen since WrestleMania 41 in April, is the favourite to win at 2\/1. She is just ahead of the recently returned Liv Morgan at 9\/4.<\/p>\n Belair won the Royal Rumble in 2021 when she narrowly defeated Rhea Ripley. It was a changing of the guard match that saw the two stars begin their rise to the top of WWE.<\/p>\n The other main favourites are Rhea Ripley (8\/1), Lyra Valkyria (16\/1) and Roxanne Perez (16\/1). The only interesting name on the list of who can be backed to win is Britt Baker. Baker hasn’t been used on AEW TV since November 2024. The former AEW Women’s World Champion is fit and under contract with AEW. She is only 50\/1 to win the WWE Royal Rumble.<\/p>\n For the latest WWE Royal Rumble betting odds, visit Oddschecker.<\/a><\/p>\n More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a> for more on the WWE Royal Rumble 2026,\u00a0and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
