#5 Hope isn't true: Royal Rumble winners revealed

Royal Rumble is late this month and the road to WrestleMania officially begins. According to Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue, the two names to win the men and Women's Royal Rumble are Roman Reigns and Shayna Baszler.

He said:

The current betting favourites, previously these were just favourites from management, to win the Royal Rumble, I mentioned it was Shayna Baszler and Roman Reigns, they are now the betting favourites on a lot of betting sites, and a lot of betting companies are taking less and less odds of the chance for Roman and Shayna winning. It’s worth remembering, I believe the time was 2016 when Randy Orton won, the betting averages narrowed day by day to get closer and closer to Randy Orton, at that time you had Goldberg, Lesnar and The Undertaker in the Royal Rumble, so they were favourites the day before but Randy Orton was the betting favourite on the day. So it’s very telling when the betting favourites start to move.

While we like the idea of Roman Reigns vs The Fiend at WrestleMania 36, we fear that winning the Royal Rumble may derail his momentum as a babyface. Shayna Baszler's time on the main roster is undoubtedly approaching, but we're doubtful as to whether a direct Royal Rumble win would be the way to go about pushing her right off the bat.
