Paddy Power and Betfair has stopped taking bets on the IC title match.

You're right, there's no way the WWE would do *incredibly stupid thing*

They'll get a rematch and such too, so there's still some time before a break. Hopefully.

I think the IC will be the blowoff between Miz and Dean
CWs will inherit the multi man ladder match
AA vs Usos

Cesaro and Sheamus vs a Raw Tag Team

Becky vs Mickie

Interbrand Women's tag match

Braun winning the battle royale

Yeah, I was gonna say, for as much praise AJ/Dean were getting for carrying Smackdown, the Miz was there putting in work, too.

Coming from the other angle, why on earth would Taker come back from that send off.

Also, Kayfabe-wise: Why would Regins call out someone he soundly beat. There's nothing left for him there.

So lets take a look at betting lines a few hours before the show begins. I'll warn people in advance that they are an absolute clusterfuck this year, which leads me to believe WWE could be loving with the lines intentionally in order to throw doubt into a few matches. :tinfoil:

All odds are taken from 5dimes unless otherwise specified.


Sasha Banks is the favorite to win the Women's Battle Royal at +170.
Matt Hardy is the favorite to win the Andre Battle Royal at -210 (however, the favorite in previous years has gone on to lose)

Cedric Alexander is the favorite to win the Cruiserweight Championship at -460.

Roman Reigns is the favorite to win the Universal Championship at -400. This is an interesting one because he has fallen from -1500 to -400 in the past few days.

Shinsuke Nakamura is the favorite to win the WWE title at -620.

Finn Balor is the favorite to win the IC title at -155. Rollins is second, and Miz is third.

Randy Orton and Rusev are at EVS (+100) to retain/win the US title.

Nia Jax is the favorite to win the RAW Women's Championship at -300. That being said, I'm keeping a very close eye on this market as Alexa has been closing the gap. She's at +100 on a few markets.

Asuka is the favorite to win the SD Women's Championship at -825. However, her odds are dropping in other markets, although even then she's still the favorite, averaging anywhere from -550 to -700 on average. Charlotte's odds are improving in some, where she is sitting at +325 to +400 (+475 for 5dimes). This is easily the most volatile market on the board right now.

Odds have not been posted for Braun/TBD vs The Bar, nor do I expect them to.

Bludgeon Brothers are the favorites to win the SD Tag Titles, sitting at +100. Usos are second, New Day is third.

Angle and Rousey are at -825 to win against Triple H and Stephanie.

Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon are RAZOR THIN favorites right now against Sami/Kevin. Sitting at -125. For reference, Sami and Kevin are at -115.


There are your betting odds for this time. I have no clue if smart money has come in yet, or if it even will.

Bet on wrestling.

Rusev/Nak rematch and Bryan/Ali would make the most sense. Maybe Rusev/Orton if they're serious about the no more automatic rematches thing.

I meant more in the nebulous future. They're both heel right now, anyway, so it's never happening.

There is only one actual face tag team of that bunch. I would be surprised if Sasha/Bayley don't win it, if only because they will have a few heel teams to beat to build up the titles as legitimate
