WWE Royal Rumble Odds
The road to Wrestlemania begins on Saturday when WWE hosts its 37th annual Royal Rumble. The winner of both the women’s and mens matches will have an opportunity to main event Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia. The event can be seen on Peacock but WWE made news this week when they struck a deal to be the first sport that will stream live on Netflix beginning in 2025.
Per Wikipedia, The Royal Rumble match is a professional wrestling match based on the classic Battle Royal match in which a number of wrestlers (traditionally 30) aim at eliminating their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. Contestants do not enter the ring at the same time, but instead are assigned entry numbers. The winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated. Last years winner was Cody Rhodes.
