As seen on Paddy Power , the new favourite to win the bout is John Cena.

The 16-time world champion has odds of 9/4, with Roman Reigns at 5/2 and Shinsuke Nakamura being the third favourite at 11/4. Cena has won the Rumble match twice, and if he were to reign supreme in 2018, he would tie with Stone Cold Steve Austin for the most Royal Rumble victories ever.
