WWE Royal Rumble 2021 Odds for Men’s and Women’s Match Winners
The WWE Royal Rumble 2021 odds are continuing to favor a select few superstars ahead of the annual pay-per-view, with a chance to headline WrestleMania up for grabs. It’s a prestigious event that has seen legendary winners over the years including The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Ric Flair. Will a new superstar join them in the record books? Also, don’t forget the women, who have started their own Rumble tradition over the past several years.
WWE Royal Rumble 2021 odds favor former winner, New Day star
Based on the latest men’s Royal Rumble 2021 odds, two superstars are tied as favorites right now. New Day member Big E and The Rated-R Superstar Edge each hold +500 odds to win it all. One of them could be in a major match at WWE’s WrestleMania. Of the two, Big E has been more active, with Edge recently declaring he was returning to competition.
Big E has never won the major championship, so it would put him one step closer to realizing that goal. Edge is of course a storied legend of the ring with numerous accolades including a Royal Rumble win in 2010. He failed to take advantage by winning the championship from Chris Jericho at Mania that year, though.
Meanwhile, the top five includes some other intriguing options for the men’s match. At the third spot is former WWE NXT Champion Keith Lee, who many fans feel has been wasted on the main roster. Also in the top five, are former Rumble winners Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
Reigns is of course the current WWE Universal Champion, and will defend the title against Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match at the PPV. So perhaps a Reigns title loss could lead to him appearing in the Rumble later? As for Brock Lesnar, he’s been MIA, so it would be a major surprise to see him return.
- Big E +500
- Edge +500
- Keith Lee +550
- Brock Lesner +750
- Goldberg +800
- Roman Reigns +1000
- Kevin Owens +1000
- Daniel Bryan +1000
- AJ Styles +1200
- The Rock +1400
- Bray Wyatt +1600
- Drew McIntyre +2000
- CM Punk +2000
- Seth Rollins +2000
- Adam Cole +2200

Women’s Rumble odds – MMA star to win?
Over the past several years, Rhea Ripley has established herself as a dominant force in NXT and has gone head-to-head with some of the best in the division. She’s currently the overall favorite to win the women’s Royal Rumble match on Sunday night.
However, a surprise return from former MMA star and WWE Raw Champion Ronda Rousey is a possibility too. She’s listed at +750 odds right behind Ripley. And right behind her is former MMA star and NXT Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler.
- Rhea Ripley +700
- Ronda Rousey +750
- Shayna Baszler +800
- Bianca Belair +900
- Sasha Banks +1000
- Alexa Bliss +1000
- Bayley +1200
- Nia Jax +1400
- Paige +1600
- Charlotte Flair +1600
- Io Shirai +2000
- Asuka +2000
- Lacey Evans +2000
Paige at +1600 would be a major surprise due to her not wrestling in years, but she’s still part of the odds. Some of the other women who have yet to win the Rumble that appear in the top 10 include Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, and Nia Jax.
In addition to the men’s and women’s Rumble matches, there are at least three other matches. We already mentioned Roman Reigns defending his title. Drew McIntyre will put his WWE Championship on the line against the legendary Goldberg. There’s also a women’s tag team match on the card as Asuka and Charlotte Flair defend the titles against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
