The first Premium Live Event of the Netflix era of WWE takes place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, as Lucas Oil Stadium hosts the 2025 Royal Rumble. It is shaping up to be the most star-studded event in recent history, with John Cena kicking off his farewell tour in the Rumble match. You can find the latest Royal Rumble odds, and our picks here.
Men’s Royal Rumble Odds
| Wrestler | Odds |
|---|---|
| Seth Rollins | -200 |
| John Cena | +150 |
| CM Punk | +250 |
| Roman Reigns | +600 |
| The Rock | +800 |
| Randy Orton | +2800 |
| Sami Zayn | +3500 |
| Drew McIntyre | +3500 |
Rollins Favored to Win Second Rumble
The latest Royal Rumble odds make for fascinating reading, with Seth Rollins listed as the top selection. Rollins lost the World Heavyweight Championship on Night Two at WrestleMania last year, and has since been involved in a heated rivalry with CM Punk.
The first part of that saga ended in defeat for the Visionary on the Raw Netflix premiere, with the Straight Edge superstar winning their main event. However, Punk and John Cena are both leading contenders.
Punk has made no secret of his desire to main event WrestleMania for the first time, and winning the Rumble is the quickest way to achieve that spot. Cena’s farewell tour will likely see him win a 17th world title, but I’d expect that to be more difficult than simply winning on his return to set up a Mania showdown.
Men’s Royal Rumble 2025 Pick
Sami Zayn is the angle that I like at the prices, with Kevin Owens teasing a potential main event against his long-time friend if he wins the Rumble. That match would require little selling to fans, and I, for one, am already on board to see it in Vegas.
Women’s Royal Rumble Odds
| Wrestler | Odds |
|---|---|
| Charlotte Flair | +200 |
| Becky Lynch | +250 |
| Rhea Ripley | +300 |
| Iyo Sky | +350 |
| Bianca Belair | +500 |
| Jade Cargill | +600 |
| Alexa Bliss | +700 |
| Liv Morgan | +1600 |
Flair Favored to Win Rumble on Big Return
The women’s Royal Rumble has been an excellent addition to the card since being added in 2018. However, it could be argued that this year’s match is one of the most unpredictable.
Charlotte Flair is listed as the favorite to win her second Rumble, but I’d be happy to side against the daughter of legendary Ric Flair. The element of surprise has already been removed, as Flair’s return to the ring was announced on SmackDown, meaning that she will likely get a title match against Tiffany Stratton, but it won’t mean that she is winning the Rumble.
Iyo Sky has been a fascinating price for this match, and a rematch against Rhea Ripley for the Raw Women’s title would be an excellent contest. Alexa Bliss is also reportedly close to returning, and she would indeed tick many boxes in terms of surprise.
Women’s Royal Rumble Pick
The fact that the market is dominated by previous winners means that a two-time winner is likely to be crowned. Becky Lynch appears to be the most obvious angle, as she has unfinished business with Ripley, and the two could put on another excellent match for the championship for the second Mania running.
