Bron Breakker Becomes New Betting Favorite to Win Royal Rumble 2026

The betting landscape for WWE’s Royal Rumble 2026 has been flipped on its head just 48 hours before the show kicks off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A new frontrunner has emerged—and it’s not Roman Reigns.

Bron Breakker is now the betting favorite at EVENS (1/1), overtaking long-standing favorite Roman Reigns (11/8). This shift implies a 50% win probability for Breakker, who is gaining serious momentum as WWE’s next breakout megastar.

Meanwhile, LA Knight’s odds have plummeted from 20/1 to 5/1, making him one of the fastest risers in the field. His implied win percentage now sits at 17%, tied with Sami Zayn. Knight is also the second most-backed pick in the past hour, securing 13% of total bets placed.

Roman Reigns still commands the public’s confidence with a massive 69% of all bets in the last hour going his way, despite slipping behind Breakker in the odds. This makes Reigns both a betting darling and a storyline focal point—though the value now lies elsewhere.

Here’s how the current Royal Rumble 2026 winner odds break down:

Betting Split (Last Hour):

• Roman Reigns – 69%
• LA Knight – 13%
• Bron Breakker – 6%
• Omos – 6%
• Randy Orton – 6%

Oddschecker’s Chris Rogers commented on the shift:

“Bron Breakker (1/1) has creeped ahead in the betting ahead of the strongly fancied Roman Reigns at 11/8. Bettors continue to rally behind Reigns with 69% of bets placed in the last hour backing the six-time world champion. LA Knight’s odds have been slashed from 20/1 to 5/1; the 43-year-old was the second most backed wrestler with 13% of the betting.”

Will Bron Breakker capitalize on the momentum and pull off a game-changing win? Only time will tell.
