Men’s Royal Rumble Odds & Picks
| Wrestler | Odds |
|---|---|
| Roman Reigns | +175 |
| Gunther | +200 |
| Sami Zayn | +400 |
| Bron Breakker | +500 |
| LA Knight | +600 |
| Other Selections | +700 & Bigger |
A shot at a World Championship at WrestleMania this year will be on the line when the Men’s Royal Rumble is staged in Saudi Arabia.
Roman Reigns is the current favorite to win the match for the second time in his career, but the Tribal Chief’s prolonged absence and part-time schedule will ensure that building toward a title match could be testing. Gunther’s stock has risen since beating John Cena, but he is also an easy competitor to overlook.
This year could be the WWE’s perfect opportunity to build a star through a Rumble win, and we are high on the chances of Bron Breakker landing success.
Breakker lost to CM Punk in his first World Heavyweight Championship match on Raw at the start of 2026, but he could avenge that loss by beating the same rival for the gold in Las Vegas in April.

Women’s Royal Rumble Odds & Picks
| Wrestler | Odds |
|---|---|
| Liv Morgan | -115 |
| Bianca Belair | +200 |
| Rhea Ripley | +300 |
| Tiffany Stratton | +700 |
| Charlotte Flair | +1200 |
| Other Selections | +1400 & Bigger |
The Women’s Royal Rumble will also see a number one contender for WrestleMania determined. Bianca Belair has been away from the WWE for an extended period, and if fit in time, she will likely have a deep run in the Rumble.
Rhea Ripley looks to be on a collision course with Iyo Sky for a match at Mania this year, and that storyline doesn’t require either star to win the match in Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, it could be Liv Morgan’s opportunity. Since returning from injury at SummerSlam, tensions between Morgan and the remainder of the Judgement Day have increased, and this could lead to a potential face turn for Morgan, before challenging Raquel Rodriguez, who is in line for a shot at Stephanie Vaquer, for the Raw Women’s Championship at the Showcase of the Immortals.
