Rumor Roundup: Backstage Note On Bad Bunny, Early Royal Rumble Favorites, More

3) Early Betting Favorites For The Women’s Royal Rumble Match

According to Betway, Rhea Ripley is the current favorite to win the women’s Royal Rumble match in 2022.

Here are the top 4 betting favorites right now:

  • Rhea Ripley (4.5 to 1)
  • Becky Lynch (7 to 1)
  • Ronda Rousey (8 to 1)
  • Sasha Banks (9 to 1)

My Take:

  • I don’t think that Sasha is a bad outside bet right now. She has never won the Royal Rumble match and I could see it happening at some point before she retires.

2) Ronda Rousey’s Original WWE Contract Expires

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ronda Rousey’s original contract with WWE expired this past week.

It is unclear if she has signed another deal with WWE or not. The company was originally planning to bring her back for Wrestlemania 37 in Los Angeles.

Rousey’s contract expired originally this past week. It’s possible they froze it from when she asked to take time off. The impression we had is she was always coming back for the planned Los Angeles WrestleMania which was supposed to be this year, but obviously that didn’t happen.

My Take:

  • I really hope that we get Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch. That is one of the matches that I still reallyt want to see.
