New Favorites Revealed For Both WWE Royal Rumble Matches
The 2021 Royal Rumble will be the first WWE pay-per-view of the year and will take place on January 31 from the ThunderDome. Superstars have just started entering their names into the event's signature match as four male Superstars and two female Superstars have respectively entered the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches.
Just as there are with any sporting event, there are odds for the Royal Rumble matches as well. Bovada released their latest odds on January 5 and one of the four male entrants has skyrocketed to the top. Daniel Bryan, who was originally tied for eighth at +1400, is now listed at +300 and is the clear favorite to be the winner of the 34th edition of the event. That means if you bet $100 on Bryan to win ? and he does win ? then your net profit would be $300.
Bryan has never won the Royal Rumble before and is the odds-on favorite over Keith Lee who is second at +450. Third is Big E who was originally a co-favorite before the latest odds were updated. Fourth is Brock Lesnar and fifth is Edge who was also a co-favorite alongside Big E in the previous odds.
There was also a change at the top on the women's side as Bianca Belair is the new favorite at +400. She previously ranked seventh at +1400 but Bovada favors her to win after making her Rumble debut in last year's event. Belair made quite the impression in her Rumble debut as she eliminated eight other Women's Superstars including Alexa Bliss who is listed second per Bovada. Little Miss Bliss comes in at +600 while the previous favorite, Rhea Ripley, now checks in at third. Rounding out the top five are Ronda Rousey and Bayley who are both tied at No. 4 at +1000.
The Royal Rumble has surprise entrants every year and there are several names in Bovada's rankings which indicate this year will be no different. Names such as The Rock, Tyson Fury, Conor McGregor and even Dean Ambrose make their list. On the women's side, Paige, Deonna Purrazzo and Stephanie McMahon are given odds, as is the recently released Zelina Vega.
