WWE hosts its annual Royal Rumble event next month, the official start to the road to WrestleMania this April. 

The show is headlined by a men's and women's 30-person over-the-top battle royal, where the winners of each match will earn a world championship match at WWE's biggest show, WrestleMania. 

It's an accolade that has been achieved by many of WWE's biggest names, but who are the front-runners heading into the 2025 event? 

Who are the favourites for the men's Royal Rumble? 

This year's rumble is shaping up to be one of the most star-studded in years, with a slew of main event Superstars already having announced their entry to the match. 

However, after announcing the bout would be the kick-off to his 2025 retirement tour, WWE legend John Cena is currently the overwhelming favourite to win the Royal Rumble. The 16-time world champion has already previously won the event in 2008 and 2013, and a victory in Indianapolis would put him on course for a record-breaking 17th title win. 

You can also get good odds on wins for Seth Rollins, CM Punk and Roman Reigns. While The Rock is also at a decent price at 16-1.
