Heading into the new year, oddsmakers had Big E, Edge and Goldberg as the heavy favorites to win the 2021 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Online betting site BetOnline had the trio in a three-way tie on Dec. 28, but following Goldberg’s announcement that he’ll be challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship on the same night the odds have been flipped on their heads. Bovada released its latest betting odds this week, now favoring Daniel Bryan to win the match with 3/1 odds. The site originally had the chances of him winning down at 14/1.

Bianca Belair, who has been a favorite across the board from both Bovada and BetOnline, remains the favorite to win the Women’s Rumble match at 4/1.
Bryan, who was the first wrestler to declare for the 2021 Rumble, teased the idea of challenging Roman Reigns during a recent Talking Smack promo directed at Paul Heyman.
“If I win the Royal Rumble, that means that I will go to WrestleMania and face whoever’s the Universal Champion,” Bryan said. “And Paul, I don’t lay claim to being better than many people, at certain things. But I’ll tell you this – I’m a better fighter than Roman Reigns, and I sure as hell am a better wrestler than Roman Reigns. And if I win the Royal Rumble and face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, he’s still the champion, I will beat him for that championship. Here’s another thing. If he’s not champion, somewhere down the line I’m going to beat him anyways.”
