WWE Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Royal Rumble 2025

by Steve Lawson

The Royal Rumble is the best WWE event of the yearYes, better than WrestleMania. While it may not be quite the spectacle that ‘Mania is, the concept is so fun and exciting that I cannot help but be drawn to it. The goal is simple:  Throw your opponents over the top rope and be the last of 30 entrants standing. Now that we get both a men’s and women’s Rumble, it’s double the fun!

I am going to break down my Royal Rumble betting predictions with odds and best bets from the card ahead of the Feb. 1 matchup. A word of caution, however, that this is what I think are the best bets and not necessarily the chalk picks!

WWE Undisputed Championship Ladder Match

(c) Cody Rhodes -1200 Kevin Owens +600

There is not much indicating that Cody Rhodes is dropping the title this weekend. Frankly, I think he should for the value it would add by showing that WrestleMania isn’t the only place the WWE Championship can move hands. But, I think Rhodes has a longer story ahead and this is one case where I am happy to see “The American Nightmare” retain. I think Kevin Owens “KO” gets screwed by Sami Zayn, and that leads to a feud at WrestleMania.

Steve’s Pick: Cody Rhodes -1200

Entry Number of Men’s Royal Rumble 2025 Winner

Over 17.5 -190 Under 17.5 +140

This is a fun one. Do we get a late-entry win? Or do we see an Ironman-style victory that would remind us of Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio? Personally, I think with Triple H’s booking style, he wants someone to show they’ve earned the win. I’m guessing the winning spot could be something along the lines of the third entry or, hell, even the first! It feels like that’s how it’s going to go this year.

Steve’s Pick: Under 17.5 +140

Women’s Royal Rumble 2025 Winner

Let’s break down how many moving parts there are in this match. First – and most importantly – Charlotte Flair is returning. That currently has her as the odds-on favorite to win at -110. While I think “The Queen” will certainly make a run, I do not think this is hers to win. Typically, the Royal Rumble is used to create a new main event player or re-establish someone as the “main event guy.”

Becky Lynch is also heavily rumored to be coming back. Could “The Man” get back to the promised land? She could, but I think someone else is sneakily building momentum in a way that people seem to be missing.

Naomi has been referenced by Kevin Owens recently. With the injury/attack to Jade Cargill still a mystery, it could well be Naomi who steps forward as the culprit while also laying claim to a spot at WrestleMania as a big-time heel. Personally, if you want a good long shot to make some good money on a hit, Naomi is my pick!

Steve’s Pick: Naomi +2000

Men’s Royal Rumble 2025 Winner

Is this the night John Cena kicks off the “farewell tour” with a Royal Rumble win in 2025? Or does CM Punk once again infuriate half the roster and get the victory? Monday showed us some interesting words that Punk and Cody Rhodes exchanged. I think of the two of them – both are close to the favorites – I would go with Punk as the winner of the Rumble, and Cena will pull off the Elimination Chamber win to punch his ticket to WrestleMania.

Are there other possible winners? Of course, I think that there are a few. Seth Rollins is a heavy favorite at -200, along with Punk and Cena at -210 and -220, respectively. He is a great pick. The Rock is going off at +800, and I don’t think it’s out of the question that he inserts himself as the 31st entrant (killing my other bet win) and eliminating Roman Reigns, who will probably be coming off of a long run in the Rumble. This could set up a massive power struggle between The Rock, The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes.

If you want a longshot to win, I would go with Randy Orton at +900. I think it is possible for them to turn him into a heel, have him go nuts on Kevin Owens as revenge, and then turn on his former protege, Rhodes. It is a long shot, but it could happen!

Still, CM Punk is the safest play if you don’t mind drinking the juice.

Steve’s Pick: CM Punk -150
