As the Road to WrestleMania 42 officially kicks off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the stakes couldn't be higher.
For the first time, a traditional Royal Rumble match is heading to the Middle East, and the women's division is already seeing a surge of heavy hitters declaring their intent to outlast 29 other superstars.
We have already had several superstars declare for the women’s rumble match - and as of writing, they are:
- Rhea Ripley
- Liv Morgan
- Roxanne Perez
- Raquel Rodriguez
- Lyra Valkyria
- IYO SKY
- Bayley
- ASUKA
With 22 spots still to be filled, the betting markets are already shifting as fans anticipate shock returns and NXT call-ups, and Oddschecker have now revised the odds ahead of the match ahead of next week’s PLE.
Here is how the top contenders currently stack up according to the latest odds.
1. Becky Lynch (25/1)
'The Man' has been operating on a lighter schedule lately, leading many to wonder if she has one more legendary run left in her. At these odds, she is the ultimate value bet for someone who knows exactly how to win the big one when the lights are brightest. | Sarah Stier/Getty Images
2. AJ Lee (20/1)
The rumour that won't go away. Since her shock appearance at Wrestlepalooza in late 2025, speculation has reached a fever pitch. At 20/1, she is the "nostalgia pick" that could turn the entire Road to WrestleMania upside down. | WWE/Netflix
3. Lyra Valkyria (16/1)
The "Valkyrie" has soared in her first full year on the main roster, picking up massive wins over former champions. Backed by 17% of recent UK bets, she represents the "new guard" looking to shock the veterans and fly straight to a title match in Las Vegas. | Getty Images
4. Roxanne Perez (16/1)
"The Prodigy" already holds the record for the longest time spent in a single Women's Rumble match. Now an official member of Judgment Day on the main roster, she isn't just a participant - she’s a history-maker looking to become the youngest winner in the event's history. | Elsa/Getty Images
5. Tiffany Stratton (12/1)
The "Centre of the Universe" is the dark horse of the 2026 Rumble. After losing her title to Jade Cargill and taking time off for an injury, the betting markets have seen a massive late surge for Stratton. Fans are betting on "Tiffy Time" to officially begin again in Saudi Arabia. | WWE
6. Rhea Ripley (8/1)
"Mami" currently holds the Women’s Tag Team Titles alongside her best friend, IYO SKY. While they are a powerhouse duo, the Rumble always creates friction. The question isn't if Rhea can win, but if she's willing to sacrifice her friendship with IYO to reclaim the World Title she never truly lost. | Getty Images
