We're making our best WWE Royal Rumble predictions using the best betting odds from our best sports betting sites as the "Road to WrestleMania" heats up on Saturday night.

Every WWE superstar dreams of having their WrestleMania moment. Many have gotten that opportunity by winning the Royal Rumble, earning an opportunity in a title match on the grandest stage. 

On Saturday night, 30 men and 30 women will enter the ring in 90-second intervals, hoping to be the last wrestler standing and earn their spot in WrestleMania. While we know many of the names on the card, the WWE loves to shock the fans with surprise appearances. 

Their targets are Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Iyo Sky, all of whom hold the title belts for their brands. They all wait to see who the winner of Saturday’s main event selects as their opponent.

Based on our look at the Royal Rumble odds, here are our best Royal Rumble predictions for WWE's marquee event based on the odds from our best sports betting apps.

WWE Royal Rumble predictions 2024

  • Cody Rhodes to win the men's Royal Rumble (+400) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Becky Lynch to win the women's Royal Rumble (+400) ⭐⭐⭐
  • Bianca Belair to make the final 4 (+138) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Who will win the Royal Rumble?

Cody Rhodes to win men's Royal Rumble (+400) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The WWE has been building up “The American Nightmare” since his return to the company last year. Rhodes won the 2023 Royal Rumble en route to a tough loss to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania 39 later that year.

In order to finish his story, Rhodes would need another crack at the championship. Until recently, we were led to believe he would win a second consecutive Royal Rumble and main event WrestleMania. 

However, the reintroduction of CM Punk has possibly thrown a wrench in that plan. "The Best in the World" also has designs on winning the Rumble and participating in the main event at WrestleMania.

Punk is the favorite to win at +100. His late arrival could just be a distraction to make it less obvious that Rhodes will leave St. Petersburg with the win.    

Becky Lynch to win women's Royal Rumble (+400) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bayley (-110) opened and has remained the favorite to be the last woman in the ring Saturday night. However, over the last few weeks, this has turned into a crowded house with the likes of Nia Jax and Bianca Belair tossing their hats in the ring. 

This makes Lynch a perfect pick, especially at these odds. "The Man" has exchanged words with just about everyone lately, including the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley. 

Lynch has one Royal Rumble win on her resume. She is out to prove that she is still one of the best in the business and wants to beat every other woman in the ring this weekend to back up her claim.

Bianca Belair to make the final 4 (+138) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Belair and Damage CTRL have had it out several times this month, both in and out of the ring. The "EST" is on a mission to win back the WWE Women’s Championship title she lost to Iyo Sky last August. 

We have seen a combination of Belair, Bayley, Nia Jax, and Becky Lynch square off over the last few weeks. This hints at the possibility that the four could be the last combatants in the ring and battle it out to see who wins it all.

The former champ won the Royal Rumble in 2021 as the third entrant. This proves she has the stamina to make it to the end regardless of her starting position. Getting this at plus money makes the bet even better.
