A spokesperson for DuelBits Predicts explained the reasoning behind the odds, stating that “Chris Jericho heads the betting here with a 71 percent chance of appearing in the Royal Rumble. He has been continuously heavily linked with a return to WWE and has been strongly rumoured to feature in the Royal Rumble. He is out of contract with AEW so there’s a very realistic chance he makes a comeback.” The spokesperson also highlighted Brock Lesnar and Sheamus as popular speculative picks, particularly with Sheamus potentially returning from injury.
Regarding celebrity involvement, the spokesperson noted, “IShowSpeed heads the market here with a 31 percent chance… having made an appearance last year that garnered massive publicity and buzz.” They also cited ongoing rumors surrounding Jake Paul, Bad Bunny, KSI, and Kai Cenat as contributing factors to their positions.
As always, betting odds reflect speculation rather than confirmed plans. WWE has not announced any surprise entrants for the Royal Rumble, and final appearances will only be known once the event unfolds live.
