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.

There have been storylines that will be involved this is years rumble Rhodes is looking to finish his story by winning and going back to the main event to win the Championship. CM Punk has made his return to WWE and is one of the favorites to win the event. Drew McIntryre, a previous winner wants to get back into the main event and has a contract ending soon. Other names like Jay Uso, Gunther and eve The Rock have been rumored to enter the event. The current champions are Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. On the women's side.
