If you are into betting on scripted productions, then WWE is where you want to be. The Royal Rumble is coming up next week and the bets are coming in. Who is the public putting the money on? As it stands now, Braun Strowman is the favorite.

Now, I haven’t watched WWE in years, so I have no clue who Braun Strowman is (Editors Note: Used to be with the Wyatt family and now is feuding with top Raw stars Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns for Kevin Owens’ Universal title), but I can tell you he is the 5/2 favorite, followed by The Undertaker at 11/4. Randy Orton is getting decent odds as well at 7/2 on the SmackDown side.

Sky Bet has the full updated odds for the Royal Rumble, where the victor will go on to challenge for the WWE championship at WreslteMania. Here are the top favorites of note…

Braun Strowman (5/2)
The Undertaker (11/4)
Randy Orton (7/2)
Finn Balor (9/2)
Samoa Joe (11/2) *not confirmed in Royal Rumble, rumored to make debut
Chris Jericho (11/1)
Bill Goldberg (14/1)
Seth Rollins (14/1)
John Cena (16/1)
Brock Lesnar (16/1)
Kurt Angle (20/1) *not confirmed in Royal Rumble, was just named to WWE HOF
The Miz (20/1)

There are a couple of others on the board worth noting. Triple H has a 33/1 shot to win the Royal Rumble, and Shawn Michaels has a 66/1 shot. Shane McMahon is on the board at 150/1, and his father, Vince McMahon, comes in with 250/1 odds. The great thing about the Royal Rumble is the unpredictability of the whole event, as contestants coming in out of the blue sometimes. The next contestant is anybody’s guess. Who knows. Maybe The Hulkster comes back, or maybe The Rock makes an appearance.
