Former WWE Superstar turned Hollywood heavyweight Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is currently favored to win the 2019 Royal Rumble match, according to early betting odds.

Several weeks ago, there was a report by the Wrestling Observer that stated, “There has been talk of Rock being interested in wrestling at Mania this year. If there’s no schedule conflict, it would be expected he’d make an appearance in some form at the show.”

Since then, WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins has gone on record saying he doesn’t think WWE needs The Rock at WrestleMania.

Skybet has released early betting odds for next year’s WWE PPV, and the People’s Champion is currently favored to win Royal Rumble as a 2/1 favorite.

Former SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan follows him with 6/1 odds. Seth Rollins (8/1) and Braun Strowman (9/1) are then the #3, and #4 in the line. Roman Reigns, John Cena and Finn Balor all have 12/1 odds.

It’s worth mentioning here that in a recent interview with Cathy Kelley, the former World Champion had shown interest in returning to the wrestling ring. When she asked him about a potential WWE return, The Rock said that he “can’t wait to get back to a WWE ring” and he always tells people that there is nothing like inside there.

The 46 year old Rock has not wrestled since WrestleMania 32, when he defeated Eric Rowan in an impromptu match. Prior to that, the last high-profile match was against John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 29.
