Royal Rumble 2023 prop bets: Will The Rock win? Will Pat McAfee ... (The Athletic)

In the spirit of the season, we decided to have fun and make prop betting odds on some of the possibilities and unique quirks that come along with this match.

He will be in the men’s Rumble and he’s the favorite to win. The women’s record is eight, done by both Belair and Shayna Baszler in 2020. Mick Foley competed in the 1998 Rumble match as three different characters, and Nia Jax appeared in both the men’s and women’s Rumble matches in 2019. How real that knee injury was is up for debate, since this is pro wrestling and you never know what to believe, and later reports indicated it was more minor. The Puerto Rican recording artist has impressed in each of his WWE appearances, including a WrestleMania match in 2021 and Rumble appearance last year. There have similarly been just six instances of someone lasting one hour in a normal Rumble match, most recently Chris Jericho in 2017. Dwayne Johnson is the cousin of current champion Roman Reigns (real name Joe Anoa’i), and the two have teased a potential match for years. Yes (+400) The possibilities this year could include those two again, along with Pat McAfee and Logan Paul (or maybe others). The most recent was Brock Lesnar with 13 in 2020. Yes (+600) The most exciting time on the pro wrestling calendar is here.

The B/R Wrestling Staff Predictions for WWE Royal Rumble 2023 ... (Bleacher Report)

Here is a look at the card for Saturday's show: Men's and Women's Rumble matches; Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens (Universal Championship); Bianca Belair vs. Alexa ...

Wyatt and Bliss were great together, but neither of them need the other anymore. KO will have time to reclaim one of the world titles. Do you think WWE should call an audible and have him win the belts? At first, it took entirely too long for WWE to get to the point of this Wyatt story. Naomi is great, has been a staple of the Rumble match, and brings the athleticism and creativity the match demands. And yet, her presence demands the spotlight. WWE understands the significance of surprises in the Rumble and also knows it failed to bring Sasha Banks back into the fold. The Usos and Solo Sikoa team up with Reigns to beat down Owens and present Zayn with his opportunity to prove his loyalty by ending KO's career with some foreign object. While he is clearly one of the betting favorites and the payout wouldn't be as large, it is the safest bet in the men's Battle Royal. This should be a normal back-and-forth fight up until the referee is knocked down. Alexa Bliss was stuck in nothing storylines with no character development for months before the return of Bray Wyatt. He's the future, and it's about time he gets showcased on a bigger stage.

While Peacock is available all across the U.S. Right now, the Royal Rumble 2023 card is looking a little thin with only five matches. Yes, we think it's not a big leap to think Reigns beats Kevin Owens at the Rumble. Of the current announced entrants (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Shayna Baszler, Zelina Vega and Emma), we think Ripley has the best chance of winning. Neither woman is listed for the Women's Royal Rumble yet, so it could be added on Saturday. Because, as you may know, a win in the men's and women's Royal Rumble guarantees one wrestler's spot in the main event at the showcase of the immortals. Let's get ready to (Royal) Rumble!

On Saturday at the Royal Rumble we find out who will be in the main event of WrestleMania.

In Australia, the Royal Rumble begins at midday AEDT on Sunday. Just like the WWE Network has been absorbed by Peacock in the US, it's migrated to Foxtel's Binge streaming service in Australia. Kevin Owens will make you believe: There's no way Kevin Owens beats Roman Reigns on Saturday at the Royal Rumble.

Bianca Belair will retain, but that won't be the end of it: Judging by the story that's being told on Raw, Alexa Bliss is going to the dark side. Cody Rhodes is winning: Cody Rhodes' WWE Championship saga began after his return at last year's WrestleMania, when in a promo he declared his reason for leaving AEW was to fulfill his destiny, win the title and make his late father, Dusty Rhodes, proud. First, there are the two Royal Rumble matches themselves: one for the men, one for the women. The favorites to win the Rumble and go on to face Reigns are Rhodes and Rock. Royal Rumble 2023 takes place at San Antonio, Texas' Alamodome on Jan. Wyatt and Knight will clash in a "lights out" match at the Rumble -- a first-of-its-kind bout which is hilariously sponsored by Mountain Dew. The shortlist is more hazy on the women's side, where it's a truly open field. On the men's side, strong possibilities include Cody Rhodes and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who's

The women's Rumble has become as famous as the men's edition for its surprise entrants -- remember Kelly Kelly, [Alicia Fox](/wwe/story/_/id/17122844/wwe-profile-page-alicia-fox) and [Mickey James](/wwe/story/_/id/18698700/wwe-profile-page-mickie-james) last year?

Unlike the men's Rumble, there's a prohibitive favorite on the women's side in Ripley, who has never won the Rumble and is part of a heavily pushed faction in The Judgment Day. We assume it'll be loud and EXTREME because of the Mountain Dew of it all.

But Owens and Reigns have combined for a couple of really strong matches -- remember the 2017 Rumble when they fought with John Cena returned on the final SmackDown of 2022 for a tag team match and has been revealed as the "WWE 2K23" cover athlete. That led Reigns to rule Zayn was "not guilty" before claiming that he had a "final test" at the Rumble.

WWE Royal Rumble 2023: John Cena Returning And 5 Smart ... (Forbes)

WWE Royal Rumble 2023 should be a huge night for John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Roman Reigns and more.

Reigns, a generational clash between two of the biggest stars in the industry. Just take a second and imagine a Royal Rumble match in which Austin and Cena, arguably the two biggest stars in WWE history, both make their surprise returns within the Royal Rumble match. One, the story of Rhodes finally winning the big one is an easy story to tell. Think back to Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 30 or Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35 as underdog babyfaces who gave WWE no choice but to give them a world title match—matches that both stars won—at WrestleMania, and Zayn could follow a similar path. Reigns needs to be booked stronger than he ever has during his historic title reign, and that means that Owens, despite his obvious popularity, must take the “L” in route to what is sure to be a massive title defense for Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Lynch doesn't need a Royal Rumble victory to get a marquee WrestleMania match, and virtually no other woman outside of Raquel Rodriguez appears to have even a puncher's chance of winning this match. The women's Royal Rumble seems to only have a few realistic potential winners. So, Belair should retain at Royal Rumble in route to another marquee WrestleMania match while Bliss transitions to a storyline with Wyatt. Of course, that depends largely upon Triple H and WWE’s creative team booking a show that sets the stage for WrestleMania 39. Now, the show is [expected to sell out](https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1171380/wwe-royal-rumble-nearly-sold-out/), which should come as no surprise given that the star-studded show is, as it typically is, set to feature numerous major storyline developments and blockbuster returns. Many of Reigns’ successful title defenses featured plenty of help from The Bloodline, and “The Tribal Chief” could be in line for another tainted victory. Kevin Owens in a highly anticipated bout for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

Final Picks for Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and WWE Royal ... (Bleacher Report)

The 2023 Royal Rumble will be monumental as it not only kicks off The Road to WrestleMania, but it also sets the tone for the rest of the year as a whole.

Yes, Zayn makes the most sense as far as the storyline with The Bloodline goes, and he would easily be the fan favorite to dethrone The Tribal Chief. But history is not on the side of Dwayne Johnson following through with this match against Reigns that has been teased effectively since 2015. Yes, The Rock could be a surprise. Naomi would create considerable buzz—especially if she turned heel to join The Bloodline—but since her return hasn't been hinted at in the slightest, that's too risky of a bet. Since Reigns is holding both titles, he's the only champion the 30-Man Royal Rumble winner can choose. Who's to say that doesn't happen with The Man? Lynch is still the biggest star in the women's division. But she may get a featured spotlight with the most eliminations, if not even the runner-up finish. But if she is, the moment she comes out, she'll rocket to the top of the favorites list. If Flair were still a heel, she'd make for a great option to dethrone The Queen. That could happen if WWE wants to drag this out a little longer with another Belair vs. Assuming Wyatt loses earlier in the night to Knight following interference by Howdy, it's reasonable to assume Howdy pops up here but is confronted by Wyatt.

WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley And The ... (Forbes)

WWE has two clear favorites for the Royal Rumble matches in Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley, but they're certainly not a lock.

Rhodes is a massive star, has never won a world title and will be fresh off a lengthy absence that is sure to result in roof-rattling reactions from the WWE fan base. But just because it's predictable doesn't make it bad, and in a field full of stars who've already feuded with or faced Reigns at some point, Rhodes is a great option to go toe-to-toe with Reigns at WrestleMania. Given how great of a performer Rollins has been for the past decade and the fact that he's never truly main evented WrestleMania, most of WWE's fan base wouldn't object to Rollins winning the Rumble again. But it would be arguably a better story if Zayn instead challenges Reigns on "The Grandest Stage of Them All," and given how insanely over Zayn is, that could be a red hot match with a magical WrestleMania ending if Zayn dethrones Reigns. Perhaps most importantly, though, Ripley is getting over in a huge way with the crowd at precisely the right time. Drew McIntyre is a more likely option given the controversial ending to his match with Reigns at Clash at the Castle last September and the fact that he's always pushed as one of WWE's biggest stars. Both of those rivalries have been done time and time again, and there's virtually nothing that can be done to reignite the flames of those feuds in exciting fashion. The problem with Lynch winning the Rumble isn't the victory itself. Maybe it’s too early for Rodriguez, but with Sasha Banks gone and top stars like Bayley seemingly out of the title picture in route to WrestleMania, why not Rodriguez? [potential WrestleMania opponents](https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakeoestriecher/2022/12/13/brock-lesnar-vs-gunther-at-wrestlemania-39-would-be-a-true-wwe-dream-match/) is Gunther, and the other two frontrunners are [Steve Austin](https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/steve-austin-vs-brock-lesnar-match-pitched-for-wwe-wrestlemania-39) and Lashley. Over on the men’s side, winning the Rumble is oh-so important, as there is only one world title to compete for on “The Grandest Stage of Them All.” Arguably the most highly anticipated matches on the show are the women’s Rumble and the men’s Rumble, which has a loaded field packed with major names such as Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins.

The Royal Rumble officially kicks off WrestleMania season, with the winner of the match earning a WrestleMania shot at the world championship. This year's field ...

The Royal Rumble kicks off with a return -- but not of a wrestler. They announce that the very first match of the night is the men's Royal Rumble. Sheamus delivered his 10 Beats of the Bodhrán -- where he clubs the guy's chest 10 times while they're tied up on the ropes -- and then hit a Brogue Kick to Miz to eliminate him. Finn Balor is in next, and comes to the defense of Dominik Mysterio. Gunther and Sheamus started the match out by demolishing each other with chops and strikes; Sheamus almost immediately gets a blood-red chest. The first match of the night is the men's Royal Rumble, and it's starting with a banger. He gets a brief flurry, smashing his guitar against Gunther, but he's decimated by McIntyre and Sheamus who hit him with a Claymore and Brogue Kick at the same time. The clock ticks down for the next entrance, and it turns out to be Dominik Mysterio, who comes out with Rey's mask. The Royal Rumble officially kicks off WrestleMania season, with the winner of the match earning a WrestleMania shot at the world championship. In definitely the most impressive display of athleticism, Paul and Ricochet springboarded from opposite sides of the ring to clash together in the air. The big eliminator turns out to be Gunther, the No. Elsewhere, Bray Wyatt makes his return to the ring in a "Lights Out" match against L.A.

WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Results: Cody Rhodes Wins At No. 30 (Forbes)

Suspicious by his absence was Sami Zayn, who was a trendy pick to win the Royal Rumble match. During the pre-show, Roman Reigns demanded Zayn stay by his side ...

“I don’t know that in the fans’ minds, maybe me and you are looking at a certain point a certain way because we’re kind of like diehards, but I think there’s a lot of casual fans that are just kind of along for the ride. Contrary to social media paranoia, the honeymoon period between Cody Rhodes and WWE fans is alive and well. And I don’t think the fans are kind of where they were five, six years ago, where they kind of would like revolt. Suspicious by his absence was Sami Zayn, who was a trendy pick to win the Royal Rumble match. As Sami continued his rise as an unlikely Royal Rumble favorite, around the same time Cody Rhodes was set for a well-produced heroes welcome, fans began developing Twitter PTSD. Legacy stars like Lesnar, Edge and Lashley each spent minimal time in the Rumble in favor of highlighting rising stars like GUNTHER and Dominik Mysterio. Cody Rhodes won the WWE Royal Rumble in his return to WWE, entering the event at No. Rather, Zayn took the scenic route to the top of the sportsbook through his Emmy-worthy performance as The Bloodline’s lovable fish-out-of-water and Honorary Uce. All told, the 2023 Royal Rumble only had two surprise entrants in the forms of Edge and Logan Paul. The 2023 Royal Rumble had its share of moments, but it certainly will not live up to the high mark of its predecessors, like Steve Austin’s dramatic third win at Royal Rumble 2001 or Brock Lesnar fending off half the field in Royal Rumble 2020. The first surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble was Edge, who entered at No. By Sunday afternoon, Austin [settled in at +550](https://www.thesportster.com/report-wwe-offer-steve-austin-roman-reigns-match/), well inside the Top 5.
