CM Punk has overtaken John Cena as the new betting favorite to win the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble, following a dramatic surge in support from bettors on Oddschecker.
Earlier this week, Punk had only garnered 17% of all bets placed on the event. However, that figure has now jumped to 29%, significantly altering the market. As a result, CM Punk’s odds have been slashed from 7/2 to 6/4, positioning him as the frontrunner.
John Cena, who started the week as the favorite with 35% of all bets placed and 1/1 odds, has since seen his odds drift to 7/4, making him the second-most likely winner.
| Wrestler | UK Odds | US Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| CM Punk | 6/4 | +150 | 40% |
| John Cena | 5/2 | +250 | 28.6% |
| Roman Reigns | 5/1 | +500 | 16.7% |
| Seth Rollins | 8/1 | +800 | 11.1% |
| Logan Paul | 20/1 | +2000 | 4.8% |
Jacob Fatu Favored for Most Eliminations
Another major trend emerging from WWE betting markets is heavy backing for Jacob Fatu to record the most eliminations during the match. Currently, 65% of bets in that category have been placed on Fatu, and he now leads the market at 7/4 odds.
With the Royal Rumble just around the corner, betting trends indicate a shifting landscape, making CM Punk the top contender. Whether these odds reflect the final result remains to be seen, but the excitement continues to build as the event draws near.
