Oddsmakers wasted no time setting the odds for next year’s Royal Rumble match, despite it being almost one year away. 120 choices have been listed, and the best odds are property of Braun Strowman, who had a breakout year and is expected to be built up even further leading into 2019.
Braun’s odds should be taken with a grain of salt, as there have been no reports that the WWE has solidified plans for who will pick up a Rumble victory next year. For what it’s worth, Roman Reigns was favored by sports books throughout 2017 to win the last Rumble and ended up flipping in the weeks leading to the match in favor of Shinsuke Nakamura, the eventual winner.
Perennial contender, Roman Reigns is the next most favored at +350 as he is usually a serious candidate to win the Rumble. Brock Lesnar, John Cena and AJ Styles are all individually favored at +600 and tied for third most favored.
Of the entire list, some possible winners are more interesting than others, like Bobby Lashley , who has relatively healthy odds of +1200. Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon, all who are unlikely to compete in the match, have odds of +4000. Rob Gronkowski, who shares mutual interest with WWE in coming to the promotion, has odds of +10000 to win. Shaquille O’Neal has the same odds as Gronk. Finally, Donald Trump and for some reason Piers Morgan have odds of +40000, meaning a successful $100 bet on either of them would generate $40,000, because it’s astronomically unlikely.2019 WWE Royal Rumble Betting Odds
