I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- WWE Royal Rumble 2026 takes place on Saturday, January 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with both Men’s and Women’s Rumble matches confirmed.
- Roman Reigns (5/4) and Bron Breakker (6/4) lead the market for the Men’s Royal Rumble.
- Bianca Belair (11/10) is the current favourite to win the Women’s Rumble, just ahead of Liv Morgan (5/4).
Reigns and Belair Lead the Betting Ahead of Riyadh Showdown
The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble is now firmly on the horizon and the latest odds suggest a blockbuster showdown in both Rumble matches as betting sites install Roman Reigns and Bianca Belair as favourites to win their events.
Taking place in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District on Saturday, January 31 at 7pm, this year’s event will be the first Rumble hosted in Saudi Arabia, raising the stakes and global profile of one of WWE’s biggest shows of the year.
Saudi previously hosted the Greatest Royal Rumble back in 2018 which was a 50-man Rumble event, but this year will be the first actual Rumble PLE there.
WWE Royal Rumble 2026 – Men's Match Winner Odds
| Royal Rumble 2026 Men's Winner | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Roman Reigns | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Bron Breakker | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Sami Zayn | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Cody Rhodes | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Oba Femi | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Gunther | 12/1 | 7.7% |
With a history of WrestleMania main events and one of the most dominant championship reigns in modern WWE history, Roman Reigns (5/4) is unsurprisingly the frontrunner to win the Men’s Royal Rumble.
Despite not traditionally needing the Rumble to secure a WrestleMania match, rumours of a mega-clash for Reigns could make a Rumble win a storyline-boosting twist.
Bron Breakker (6/4) is hot on his heels and could be set for his biggest moment yet.
As one of WWE’s rising stars and a standout on the main roster, Breakker is being backed and the Rumble could be his launching pad.
Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes Among the Contenders
Sami Zayn (3/1) continues to be a fan favourite, and with momentum on his side, a deep Rumble run feels inevitable.
A win would cap off a years-long rise through the WWE ranks and could set up a redemption arc heading into WrestleMania.
Cody Rhodes (8/1) is further out in the market this time, though still a credible threat.
He is the only wrestler to declare himself for the Royal Rumble so far.
What the expert says...
WWE Royal Rumble 2026 – Women's Match Winner Odds
| WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Women's Winner | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Bianca Belair | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| Liv Morgan | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Rhea Ripley | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| AJ Lee | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Lyra Valkyria | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Roxanne Perez | 16/1 | 5.9% |
In the Women’s Royal Rumble, Bianca Belair (11/10) is just edging out Liv Morgan (5/4) as the favourite in a tightly priced market.
Belair has already proven herself on the grandest stage and remains one of the most consistent performers in WWE.
Morgan, however, has been riding a wave of popularity and could be primed for a major push heading into WrestleMania season.
Could Rhea or AJ Lee Spoil the Party?
Rhea Ripley (9/2) is never far from the spotlight and would be a popular pick for fans, especially if WWE is looking to rebuild her dominance and return her to the title picture.
Meanwhile, AJ Lee (10/1) could appear at her first ever Women's Royal Rumble event after returning to the WWE towards the end of 2025.
