• New Favorite To Win The Women’s Royal Rumble 2018 Match Revealed
As we noted before, former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey was originally the favorite to win the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble 2018 match according to the betting odds.
However, that isn’t the case anymore. Betting odds have shifted and the undefeated Raw wrestler Asuka is now the favorite to win this match.
Also, we noted before that Asuka predicted in a video that she’ll remain undefeated at Royal Rumble 2018 as well (thus making it clear that losing the Royal Rumble match will also count as a loss). While making this prediction, Asuka might have hinted that she’s going to win the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match as WWE has no plans of ending her undefeated run anytime soon (at least not before WrestleMania 34).
Below is the video of Asuka that we talked about above:
