The degenerates who loaded up on Roman Reigns to win the Royal Rumble at +110 are eating well today.

The Tribal Chief entered at number 26, eliminated five superstars including Gunther last, and punched his ticket to WrestleMania 42. Meanwhile, anyone who bet against him learned why you don't fade the Head of the Table in Saudi Arabia.

The Quick Hit

  • What happened: Roman Reigns won men's Rumble, Liv Morgan won women's, AJ Styles forced to retire
  • The damage: Reigns was +110 favorite; Morgan was +400 in women's field
  • Why you should care: WrestleMania main event market is now live
  • The move: Reigns to win world title at WrestleMania 42

Reigns Makes History (Again)

Roman Reigns joined elite company by winning his second career Royal Rumble, ten years after his first victory in 2015. The man who dominated WWE for years is back on the WrestleMania championship path, and the betting markets for April just got a lot more interesting.

For those who followed our Royal Rumble betting preview, the Reigns play looked solid heading in. At +110, he offered plus-money on the prohibitive favorite—a rare spot where the chalk actually made sense.

The women's match saw Liv Morgan at +400 outlast a final three that included Stratton and Ruca. Morgan eliminated the competition from the apron and will head to WrestleMania with a championship opportunity of her own.

AJ Styles Goes Out on His Shield

The emotional gut-punch of the night came when Gunther defeated AJ Styles by technical submission in a Career Threatening match. The Phenomenal One's WWE career is officially over, and the wrestling world is still processing it.

For betting purposes, Gunther was a heavy favorite heading in, and the match played out accordingly. Styles put up a fight but couldn't overcome the Ring General.

What's Next for Degenerates

The WrestleMania 42 championship match markets are about to light up. Reigns choosing his title shot—and his opponent—will move lines significantly across the board. Right now, expect books to favor whoever Reigns challenges, because betting against this man in a premium match is historically a losing proposition.

Drew McIntyre retained his SmackDown title over Sami Zayn, which keeps that championship picture stable heading into WrestleMania season.

The Bottom Line

If you had Reigns at +110, congratulations—you read the room correctly. The man who main-evented four straight WrestleManias is heading back to the biggest stage. For the rest of us, it's time to figure out which title he's going after and position accordingly. One thing's for sure: fading Roman at WrestleMania is not a bet anyone should feel good about.
