WWE Rumor Roundup: Legendary tag team reuniting after 5 years at Royal Rumble, Plans changed for Liv Morgan - 3rd January 2020

#1. Royal Rumble winners

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue posted a new video on his YouTube channel in which he revealed that the picks from the management to win the Royal Rumble are now also the betting favourites to win the men's and women's matches respectively.

As of this writing, Roman Reigns and Shayna Baszler are the odds-on favourites to get WrestleMania title matches.

The revelation has a lot to do with WWE shareholders getting some information about the angles in advance, which affect the betting odds. Colohue explained:

The current betting favourites, previously these were just favourites from management, to win the Royal Rumble, I mentioned it was Shayna Baszler and Roman Reigns, they are now the betting favourites 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 2016 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 favourites the day before but Randy Orton was the betting favourite on the day. So it’s very telling when the betting favourites start to move.
