WWE Royal Rumble 2021: Betting Odds Revealed
Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Ronda Rousey, and more listed among WWE Royal Rumble 2021 favourites.
The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and Ronda Rousey are amongst the biggest names to be mentioned in BetOnline.ag's official list of WWE Royal Rumble 2021 betting odds.
Here's who the site has listed as the favourites for the men's bout (h/t Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online):-
Daniel Bryan -125
Keith Lee +400
Big E +500
Edge +500
Brock Lesnar +600
Bill Goldberg +800
AJ Styles +1000
Dwayne Johnson +1000
Kevin Owens +1200
Roman Reigns +1200
Daniel Bryan as the clear favourite makes sense, given his positioning on last week's episode of SmackDown. Could 2021 be the year WWE finally makes good on years of Rumble misbookings for Bryan, who many would argue should have won in either 2015, 2016, or both? The coming weeks will likely paint a clearer picture of his chances, though things look good at the moment.
Things are a little cloudier when it comes to the women's bout:-
Bianca Belair +450
Rhea Ripley +500
Alexa Bliss +600
Ronda Rousey +800
Shayna Baszler +800
Becky Lynch +900
Bayley +1000
Charlotte Flair +1200
Sasha Banks +1400
Nia Jax +1600
Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley would both be popular winners, as each would benefit immensely from the star-making power of winning the Royal Rumble. Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch are exciting options as returnees, though last year's winner, Charlotte Flair, would go down like a particularly damp fart in a crowded elevator.
Nobody should read too much into the betting odds at this stage in the game, as WWE still has three weeks of programming to get through before Royal Rumble 2021. Regardless, the numbers will be fun to follow as we head towards the big event.
