A New Front Runner Emerges in the Royal Rumble

After nearly a year of Roman Reigns being long favored to win the 2018 WWE Royal Rumble in Philadelphia, it would be John Cena who would snatch the #1 most favorable odds away from “The Big Dog”, but this didn’t last very long. After both Roman and Shinsuke Nakamura were tied in a dead heat for the top positioning in the Rumble, Nakamura is now the most likely to win according to these odds at +140. This gives “The King of Strong Style” a probability of over 40% to win this match.

If this ends up holding true, it will presumably lead to the epic Wrestlemania match many ardent fans are dying to see with WWE Champion AJ Styles defending against Shinsuke. Both of these very talented performers were active at the same time in New Japan Pro Wrestling before coming to the WWE system and teased a major encounter in their Money in the Bank Ladder match. Time stood still as these two lock gazes in this match and let the audience soak in the moment and omen of a future meeting on a grander stage.

As for John Cena, his odds have been knocked down to +400, however Dolph Ziggler has been upgraded to have identical odds to Cena. This means both have the same probability of winning the match. Many were lest wondering what’s next for Ziggler since he vacated the United States Championship and a Rumble win might be the answer. It will be especially interesting to see how Ziggler’s odds move from now until the Rumble on January 28.

Here is the most current odds available for nearly 100 possible Rumble winners.
