Shinsuke Nakamura & AJ Styles Added To Royal Rumble Betting Board

Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles have been added to the 2016 WWE Royal Rumble match winner market at 32Red.com.

The pair - who are scheduled to wrestle each other at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 10 show on January 4th - are available at 25/1 each.

Even though both are highly unlikely to be working for WWE let alone win the 2016 Royal Rumble, there is a good reason why they have been added by a trader or requested by a customer.

According to reports - IWGP Intercontinental Champion, Nakamura, is wanted by World Wrestling Entertainment. And rightfully so. In my opinion, he's one of the top stars in pro wrestling today. However, I think Nakamura sticking with New Japan is a safe bet for the time being.

AJ Styles is an even more intriguing addition to the list.

He's set to wrestle Jay Lethal for the ROH World Championship at Final Battle tonight and will then head over to Tokyo for the aforementioned January 4th show to take on Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental strap. 

As of the time of writing, Styles is  a free agent. 

With that said - the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania plans seem to be steaming ahead, so it's highly unlikely that he'll be brought in to win the battle royal and challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in April.

The 25/1 odds should really be higher, in my opinion.

Even though I found these odds at 32Red.com, they can also be found at Unibet.com and 888Sport.com. The wrestling markets can be found under 'WWE' on the A-Z menu at all three websites.
