Just in case you’re the betting type and like to bet on predetermined sports entertainment events, the betting odds for the 2017 Royal Rumble have been updated by Oddshark.
Braun Strowman is now listed as the most likely member of the WWE roster to come out on top of the Royal Rumble match at +250 odds. The Undertaker comes in a close second at +275. Other names that top the list are Randy Orton (+275) and Finn Balor (+450).
Another name high up on the list in fifth place is Samoa Joe at +700 odds. Many have speculated that Joe will debut on the pay-per-view since he isn’t featured at the NXT event the night prior to the Royal Rumble.
If you’re looking to make a lot of money on a long-shot while betting on the Royal Rumble, you should place your money on Shane McMahon, Sin Cara, Hulk Hogan, Both Uso brothers, or Stone Cold Steve Austin, as they hold the lowest odds on the list with +20000. Ryback currently sits at the +10000 odds.
Many have speculated that Balor might make his return in the annual rumble match securing his spot to recapture the Universal Championship that he tragically lost one day into his reign.
The Demon has been rehabbing his injury in furious fashion since he was injured by a Seth Rollins powerbomb onto the barricade at Summerslam. However, some of the hope for his rumble return might have been cooled down slightly as Balor commented on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast that he is shooting for a return at WrestleMania. But when Finn told Roberts that he is rehabbing six-hours a day, Sam commented that those are Cena numbers. Therefore, nothing can be totally ruled out this year.
