Cody Rhodes is the evens favourite for the Men's Royal Rumble later this month
The 2023 Royal Rumble takes place later this month and bookies are giving odds on both the mens and women's events for this year's PPV.

Paddy Power make Rhodes the evens favourite to win the Royal Rumble with a big return to the ring rumoured for the American Nightmare.
