The Royal Rumble is famous for its surprises, and if the betting markets are to be believed, the 2026 women’s match could feature a massive return victory. According to Betfair, Bianca Belair has emerged as the clear odds-on favorite to win the match at 4/5, despite not appearing on WWE television for nearly a year.
Repeating History?
The “EST of WWE” has been sidelined since suffering a finger injury during the triple threat match for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41 against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. Interestingly, a victory for Belair would mirror the 2025 Rumble, where Charlotte Flair returned from a long injury layoff to win the match immediately.
“Charlotte Flair’s win in 2025 came in her first match back after a long injury layoff, so it will be interesting to see if WWE repeats that trick with Bianca Belair.”
The Competition
While Belair leads the pack, the field remains competitive. Liv Morgan follows closely with 5/4 odds, while rising star Tiffany Stratton sits at 7/1. Former champion Rhea Ripley is listed at 15/2, and last year’s winner, Charlotte Flair, is considered a long shot to go back-to-back with 16/1 odds.
