A current RAW superstar is reportedly the favorite to win the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match.
WWE Royal Rumble 2026 will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on January 31 and will officially kick off the road to WrestleMania 42. As usual, speculations about who will win the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches have begun.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, former two-time Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker is the current favorite to win the men’s contest. The report described Bron Breakker as the current “white board favorite” to win the men’s Royal Rumble match. White board is a reference to the board detailing the creative plans as seen on WWE: Unreal.
While plans are subject to change, WWE sources have indicated that Bron Breakker is among the favorites.
It’s also worth noting that the “white board” reference means that plans could always change. Oddsmakers like BetOnline.ag currently have Bron Breakker at 11/4 (+275) odds to win the Men’s Royal Rumble. This is ahead of Seth Rollins, who is at 13/2 (+650), and Breakker only trails Roman Reigns, who is favored at 3/2 (+150).
Bron Breakker Has A World Heavyweight Championship Shot Before The Royal Rumble
Bron Breakker pinned CM Punk inside WarGames at Survivor Series to score the win for his team. The victory earned Breakker a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity, as Paul Heyman revealed on the latest episode of RAW that Punk will defend the title against Breakker on the first anniversary edition of WWE RAW on Netflix on January 5, 2026.
The report might’ve spoiled the result of the upcoming match, as if Bron Breakker is indeed the favorite to win the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match, he might not defeat CM Punk on January 5. But, again, plans are subject to change, and fans must wait to find out what WWE has in store.
