WWE Royal Rumble 2024: Favourites REVEALED

WWE Royal Rumble 2024 is less than two weeks ago - and gambling website BetOnline has released its latest set of odds for the men's and women's matches.

CM Punk currently stands as the bookies' favourite to take the men's Royal Rumble at the 27 January premium live event, sitting on odds of +150. On the women's side, Becky Lynch and Bayley are joint favourites, both at +200.

BetOnline's top five for the men's bout is as follows:

1. CM Punk +150

2. Gunther +300

3. Cody Rhodes +400

4. LA Knight +500

5. Randy Orton +600

Knight and Orton's odds are particularly interesting, given they will fight in a four-way for Roman Reigns' Undisputed Universal Championship elsewhere on the PLE.

The Rock sits outside the top five on +700. Other interesting numbers including perennial contender Brock Lesnar at a distant +3300, AEW's MJF at +1000, and Big E, who has been out of action since breaking his neck in March 2022, at +5000.

The top women's contenders include:

1. Bayley +200

- Becky Lynch +200

3. Jade Cargill +300

4. Raquel Rodriguez +600

5. Bianca Belair +1000

- Nia Jax +1000

Rodriguez's inclusion illustrates why it's unwise to put too much stock into these numbers, which aren't necessary based on insider knowledge. Raquel was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome recently - and there is currently no word on when she might return.

Also included within the women's odds are free agent Mercedes Moné (+1200), the injured Liv Morgan (+2500), and soon-to-be-former TNA star Trinity (+2500).
