Royal Rumble will take place from the Chase Field Arena at Phoenix, Arizona in January 2019. As always, this is going to be the first PPV event of the year that will also kick things off for Wrestlemania 35. This year, WWE has a bigger cheap on their shoulder as they are hosting the show in a bigger venue. An entire baseball stadium will have to be filled up.
Two huge debuts planned at Royal Rumble
Favorite revealed to win women’s Royal Rumble
So we expect some big-time planning to set the stakes high for Royal Rumble 2019. Also, a number of big superstars will appear on the show ensuring its success. The officials will have to go all out, in this case, considering the absence of a couple of big names. Triple H and Roman Reigns are these two names who are out of the scene for a long time.
Big surprise in-store for Royal Rumble
At this time, we have received a favorite name to win the next edition of the Royal Rumble match. The former RAW Tag Team Champion Drew McIntyre is the new favorite to win the men’s division 2019 match. SkyBet has declared the current betting odds for the winners in which Drew McIntyre secured the top spot. Given below are the ongoing odds,
– Drew McIntyre 2/1
– Braun Strowman 3/1
– The Miz 7/2
Previously, The Rock was the favorite one to win the next edition of Royal Rumble. He was at the top of the betting odds for a long time. But WWE has not been able to lock him in with the help of a contract. Hence, he might not be available for the upcoming Wrestlemania season. This is the reason behind changes in the favorites’ list.
In case The Rock is not available for Wrestlemania main event, then it comes down to the first two names in the betting odds. There’s a rumor going on that Drew McIntyre will compete in a Universal Championship match at the biggest event of the year. The best option to ensure this is to let him win the Royal Rumble match.
Braun Strowman is another favorite to win the Royal Rumble match considering that Brock Lesnar will remain the Universal Champion until Wrestlemania. So the monster among can have the much-anticipated rematch against the beast at the grandest stage. He will get a golden opportunity to snatch the title away from him by virtue of this.
Finally, The Miz deserves to go back into the Main Event picture. There’s no better way to do that by letting him win the Royal Rumble match. In that case, we can expect a rematch against Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania. With the ongoing scenario, the current WWE Champion will play the role of a heel where The Miz can be the babyface in the match.
