Ex-AEW Star Winning Royal Rumble Spoiled?

The Royal Rumble event is set to take place on January 28th and is expected to feature some big surprises. Cody Rhodes, who has recently returned to WWE after being out for several months due to injury, is currently the favorite to win the men’s Royal Rumble match.

 


 

He made his return at WrestleMania 38 and has since had a string of wins against Seth Rollins. With the company promoting his return, many believe that he will have a prominent role in the company in the coming months. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rhodes is the top pick according to betting odds, followed by Sami Zayn and The Rock.

Rhodes was installed at a -160 favorite, with the next ten based on gambling odds being Sami Zayn, The Rock (which would seem unlikely at this point but it would also be something kept secretive if it was), Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Matt Riddle, Gunther, A.J. Styles (who is injured right now), Karrion Kross and Austin Theory

The top ten women favorites are Rhea Ripley at -100, followed by Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka, Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair and believe it or not, Sasha Banks, who I’d see as very unlikely.”
