This will be the 39th edition of the Royal Rumble and the first of WWE’s “Big Five” pay-per-views to take place in Saudi Arabia.
With WrestleMania stakes on the line, and a double-brand build involving Raw and SmackDown, betting markets have opened for both the Men’s and Women’s matches with two clear favourites emerging.

WWE Saudi Arabia Expansion Continues With First Big Five PLE
This event will be the 14th WWE show in Saudi Arabia since the launch of its 10-year partnership with the Kingdom in 2018.
However, Royal Rumble: Riyadh is the first Royal Rumble held in Saudi Arabia and they also have 2027's Wrestlemania.
As a result, there’s growing interest in betting markets for this event, with greater mainstream crossover potential and an international build expected for both matches.
