The 2023 WWE Royal Rumble takes place on Saturday, January 28th, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas as part of the famous venue’s 30th-anniversary celebration.
The betting odds for the grand pay-per-view event have already been released by BetOnline. Those numbers give fans a very good clue about who is most likely to find themselves pointing at the WrestleMania sign at the end of the night.
Cody Rhodes is the big favorite to win the Men’s Royal Rumble. Rhea Ripley is the odds-on favorite to win the 30-Woman showdown.
Cody Rhodes has better than 1/1 odds and is closely followed by Sami Zayn (2/1) and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (4/1). The American Nightmare is currently preparing for his in-ring return at the Royal Rumble. Rhodes was written off following his pectoral injury this past June.
Rhea Ripley (1/1) is the favorite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble. She is closely followed by Becky Lynch (5/2) and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair (4/1).
Roman Reigns (1/20) is the favorite to retain the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship against underdog Kevin Owens (7/1). Similarly, Bianca Belair (1/10) is the odds-on favorite to retain the RAW Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss (5/1). Bray Wyatt (1/20) is the odds-on favorite to win the Pitch Black Match against LA Knight (7/1).
It shouldn’t come off as a surprise that the 2023 Royal Rumble is selling out fast. WrestleTix reports that WWE has already sold 39,028 tickets with just 1,549 tickets left for the Royal Rumble. The Alamodome has a seating capacity of 40,577 fans.
