WWE NXT Superstar Is Favorite To Win 2020 Royal Rumble Match

In general, the top slots belonging from these odds have always produced the winners of Royal Rumble. From that perspective, Roman Reigns and Shayna Baszler are winning this over-the-top-rope challenge and then go on to headline WrestleMania 36 in Tampa, Florida. Here’s more from what Colohue has to offer,
“The current betting favorites, previously these were just favorites from management, to win the Royal Rumble, I mentioned it was Shayna Baszler and Roman Reigns, they are now the betting favorites on a lot of betting sites, and a lot of betting companies are taking less and less odds of the chance for Roman and Shayna winning.
It’s worth remembering, I believe the time was 2017 when Randy Orton won, the betting averages narrowed day by day to get closer and closer to Randy Orton, at that time you had Goldberg, Lesnar and The Undertaker in the Royal Rumble, so they were favorites the day before but Randy Orton was the betting favorite on the day.
So it’s very telling when the betting favorites start to move.”
