Coinciding with reports that Bron Breakker is high on the list of potential winners, the odds for The Vision member were lowered from +275 into +135 over the weekend. This move sees Roman Reigns, who was at the top of the board with a price of +150 but now out to +200, replace Breakker as the sportsbook's second-favourite.
In what could be regarded as a correlated move, BetOnline's market for Breakker's January 5th title challenge against CM Punk has sided with the World Heavyweight Champion.
Punk, who was -175 when I wrote about the market last week, is now down to -300 in the match market for his title defence against Breakker which will air on the first WWE Monday Night Raw of 2026.
A decision for Breakker, initially priced at +135 before dipping into +110 a couple of days later, has now drifted to +200.
It's understandable to see the adjustments in both markets if you consider that - barring storyline twists - major titleholders are not participants of Royal Rumble matches.
If Breakker really is the writers' favourite to win the Rumble, it should mean he won't leave the Punk match with the strap.
Over here in Europe, Roman Reigns is still an odds-on favourite - currently 5/6 - in the markets available from Betfair, Paddy Power and Sky Bet. However, Coral and Ladbrokes customers will find Breakker headlining those betting offices' WWE coverage at 2s with Reigns next up at 11/4.
In another BetOnline Royal Rumble note, the returning Liv Morgan has seen action in the market for the women's battle royal.
On December 2nd, the line for Morgan to be the outright winner was priced +2,500 but has now plummeted into +200 second-favourite. That's likely due to Monday's episode of Raw spotlighting Morgan's aim to bring gold back into the Judgment Day stable.
Just like with BetOnline, Liv Morgan is second behind Bianca Belair with Betfair, Paddy Power and Sky Bet. Ladbrokes and Coral lists both ladies as joint-favourites in their market.
