Really early Summerslam betting odds and all yeah yeah. Still, Sasha randomly having a huge shift and going from -1200 fav to +180 underdog is notably strange

Maybe she's one of the rumored ten who tested positive.

Benne: Sep 2, 2011; STOP DOING HEROIN

Here's what we have so far

code:

Brock Lesnar -350
Randy Orton +250

Finn Balor -300
Seth Rollins +220

Dean Ambrose -900
Dolph Ziggler +500

Sasha Banks +175
Charlotte -245

The Miz -400
Apollo Crews +280

John Cena +380
AJ Styles -570

The New Day +255
The Club -365

Enzo & Cass +250
Chris Jericho & Kevin Owens -350

Rusev -285
Roman Reigns +205

Cesaro +200
Sheamus -280

Hopefully plans change because I have less than zero desire to see Charlotte holding the belt again.

Surely those are basically meaningless this far out? But yeah I'm really not up for another Charlotte reign.

Charlotte winning makes no sense unless Sasha's getting suspended

Not that Vince doesn't ignore obvious booking logic for no good reason at times, but still

The only reason I think Crews is taking the IC title is because they won't shut up about the New Era being an opportunity for new talent and Miz with any belt is old news these days.

So Finn Balor winning the championship, Gallow & Anderson winning the tag team championship, and AJ Styles beating John Cena.

Go on.

achillesforever6: Apr 23, 2012; psst you wanna do a communism?

Enzo and Cass were the favorites too and Apollo was also going to take the IC belt, but the betting shifted it seems; though it does that a lot in the early goings.

i think the audience will be able to cope with a single fan favorite losing on a card filled with smark favorites otherwise going over . Wrestlemania 28 this is not

As long as they don't do anything spectacularly stupid like have Bayley show up and cost Sasha the match turning heel and joining with Charlotte they'll be fine.

I also expect those odds to change again in the next four hours when they confirm finishes.

NOPE though, which I'm thrilled with.

Well if Finn wins, people will too busy actively cumming over WWE giving him the top belt immediately to continue to be mad about Sasha losing.

Benne: Sep 2, 2011; STOP DOING HEROIN

The Sasha/Charlotte odds being this low this late pretty much confirms it won't be a clean finish, so I'm guessing Sasha keeps the belt after whatever wacky bullshit they're planning.

He also got a visual pinfall in the MitB match which AJ only won through Club shenanigans.

Of course, that's sort of okay since AJ not actually winning decisively but still being smug as hell about it is great for his character.

Welp

Sasha +550
Charlotte -1050

All the leaders are really big leaders now

Also for some reason it didn't mention the Enzo and Cass match earlier but anyway JeriKO are big leaders (-1500 to +700)

You know, it just occurred to me that Dana Brooke is banned from ringside and Ric Flair was at TakeOver.

... They wouldn't, right? Surely.

hope it's a DQ win, anyway

# ? Aug 21, 2016 21:21

Marmaduke!: May 19, 2009; Why would it do that!?

They'll probably do something very sensible like have a ref bump followed by Dana Brooke coming in and hitting her finisher.
