Brock Lesnar 'To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Match Against John Cena And Seth Rollins'

WWE World Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will retain his title against John Cena and Seth Rollins at the Royal Rumble, according to the bookies.

Just three days ahead of the traditional January pay-per-view, the Beast, 37, is fancied to repel the challenges of the man he suplexed into oblivion at Summerslam to win the belt and the star pinpointed as 'The Future of WWE' - and likely enter Wrestlemania as one half of the headlining main event.

While there aren't many bookies prepared to price up WWE bouts - and why not? If you can bet on X Factor or Corrie, WWE seems like a natural fit for punters - those that do are in agreement that Paul Heyman's client will continue to steamroll through the opposition laid before him.

Paddy Power have Brock as the favourite to win at 1/3, while Sky Bet have the former UFC Heavyweight kingpin listed at odds of 2/5.

Cena is second favourite, priced at 16/5 and 3/1 respectively, while Rollins is given odds of 6/1 to triumph by both bookies.

The odds may come as somewhat of a surprise to many fans, who have wondered whether Seth's inclusion in the match just a couple of weeks ago and almost unflinching confrontations with Lesnar could be taken as a sign of his imminent elevation.

Rumours persist Lesnar's WWE contract may be up for renewal around the time of Wrestlemania, in late March.
