A new favorite emerges in the WWE Royal Rumble 2026 betting odds

The last few days have been somewhat tumultuous in WWE, especially with the title change of the Undisputed Championship after Drew McIntyre defeated Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell Match. Because of this, and also after Bron Breakker lost the opportunity to become Raw champion a week ago, the landscape of the Royal Rumble is changing. It is worth noting the rise of two wrestlers: Gunther and Sami Zayn.

Since last year, voices began to position the Canadian as the winner, but we are still far from being able to assure something like that. However, in regards to the men's Royal Rumble match, Roman Reigns remains the favorite to win, but where we have found a significant change is in the women's match.

Currently, Liv Morgan is the favorite to win the women's Royal Rumble, displacing Bianca Belair, who was the number one until now. Next, we review the odds for each match, highlighting in bold the favorite to win.
