It has already been a year since Shinsuke Nakamura won the men’s Royal Rumble and Asuka won the inaugural women’s Rumble. The stakes and storylines are different this year, but that has not stopped oddsmakers from setting betting odds on who will win in Sunday night’s WWE main event.

The latest odds, courtesy of Bovada, match up with expert predictions about the outcomes of the two Royal Rumble matches. Seth Rollins is a minus-money favorite to be the last man standing out of 30 entrants into the men’s Rumble, with -175 odds.

Rollins has been a successful babyface in the unfortunate absence of Roman Reigns, who stepped away from the ring due to leukemia in October. With one of the faces of the company out of action, many feel Rollins has earned a shot to shine on one of wrestling’s biggest stages.

As for the second edition of the women’s Royal Rumble, Charlotte Flair is also expected to come out on top. She has -200 odds to win the Rumble, which could set up the Wrestlemania many fans expect to see: Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey.

Of course, Becky Lynch could also win the Rumble to set up the same main event. She has the second-best odds to win, with +150 odds.
