BetOnline's markets for the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble closed at 5:00PM GMT.
Both of the Royal Rumble outright winner markets closed with odds-on favourites in Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan respectively. Each selection was -200 apiece.
Morgan was +2,500 when the market was first installed in early December. That was a little under a fortnight before she returned to WWE following her return from a summer injury.
The Judgment Day member found her way to the top of the market by January 4th. She remained at its peak through to today's close.
Roman Reigns has been a relatively consistent favourite in the market for the Men's Royal Rumble. However, were moments when he battled Bron Breakker for the top spot in the market.
The two selections even flipped places today with Reigns moved into second-favourite this afternoon before he regained his spot from Breakker shortly before betting was suspended.
The closing favourite for the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Drew McIntyre and his challenger - Sami Zayn - was the former. However, it was clear from the betting that, Zayn was the public's favourite to go over in the match.
As I've covered over the previous day (on Friday and this morning), the market for the AJ Styles .vs. Gunther match was taken off the board. The sportsbook noted that Styles had opened as a -200 favourite over Gunther's +300. However, when I came across the market, a week last Wednesday, Styles was a heavy -1,000 favourite while his opponent was +500.
BetOnline pointed to Styles trademarking at least a couple of monikers as to their reasoning for pulling the market. Before that, the sportsbook noticed customers 'hammering Gunther to win this match'.
In a potentially corelated incident, the sportsbook also removed Gunther from its Royal Rumble winner market, so customers were unable to bet on the Austrian since Monday of this week.
Liv Morgan, Roman Reigns, Gunther (over Styles) and McIntyre (over Zayn) remain favourites to win their respective matches in domestic Royal Rumble markets still available as of the time of writing.
